Flu Season 2009-2010

As the flu becomes more prevalent in our community, Blinn College wants you to know that if you have flu-like symptoms, you should not come to class. The virus is highly contagious and we need your help to keep it from spreading.
If you have flu-like symptoms:

• Stay home. Do not come to class.
• Report your illness to your instructors so the absence is recorded properly.
• It is not necessary for you to provide a doctor’s note to be excused or return to class.
• You are responsible for missed work.

Seasonal flu vaccines are now available from health providers and at county health departments. The vaccine for the H1N1 flu is expected to be available to high risk groups beginning in mid-October.

Throughout this academic year, Blinn College will closely monitor the spread of flu in our communities. Please know that we are taking steps to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Please follow these guidelines:

• Practice good hand hygiene by washing your hands with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing. Alcohol-based hand cleaners also are effective and have been placed throughout the campuses.
• Practice respiratory etiquette by covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. If you do not have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth; germs are spread this way.
• Know the signs and symptoms of the flu. A fever is a temperature taken with a thermometer that is equal to or greater than 100 degrees. Look for possible signs of fever: if the person feels very warm, has a flushed appearance, or is sweating or shivering.
• Stay home if you have flu or flu-like illness for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever or signs of a fever (have chills, feel very warm, have a flushed appearance, or are sweating). Don’t go to class or work or social gatherings.
• Talk with your health care provider about whether you should be vaccinated for seasonal flu and/or H1N1. People at higher risk for H1N1 flu complications include pregnant women and people with chronic medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, or diabetes. For more information about priority groups for vaccination, visit www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/vaccination/acip.htm.

Stay alert to the situation this flu season. The latest on the spread of the virus in the state is available at www.texasflu.org. Check your Blinn e-mail for updates. And encourage your family, roommates, and classmates to take precautions to stay healthy.
