We know that H1N1 influenza has added additional work to your already full schedules!
We continue to receive H1N1 vaccine and supplies and will continue to distribute these to our medical providers, based on population, as quickly as possible. The CDC priority groups targeted for the H1N1 vaccine at this time include:
- Pregnant women
- People who live with or care for children less than 6 months of age
- Persons aged 6 months to 24 years of age
- Healthcare and Emergency Services personnel
- Persons aged 25-64 years who have medical conditions that put them at higher risk for influenza related complications
- Nebraska is reporting regional influenza activity and the H1N1 illness continues to be similar to seasonal influenza with the majority of diagnosed patients having mild illness. There were no school closures reported for the week that ended 11-14-09.
Thank you again for all you do. Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving with your family and friends! Go Big Red!
