H1N1 Health Information

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness spread mostly through coughing and sneezing. Influenza viruses are already circulating in Arizona this year; the most common is the H1N1 which first appeared in the spring. Seasonal flu will most likely appear later in 2009. The symptoms for both are similar and so is the treatment. Sometimes, you need to see a doctor for the flu.

www.ebscohost.com/flu  Due to Pandemic H1N1 Influenza (formerly known as Swine Flu) and concerns about the 2009/2010 flu season, the EBSCO Publishing Medical and Nursing editors of DynaMed™, Nursing Reference Center™ (NRC) and Patient Education Reference Center™ (PERC) have made key influenza information from these resources freely available to health care providers worldwide. The information is designed to inform patients and their families and provide information to clinicians to help them with H1N1 diagnosis and H1N1 treatment by making up-to-date diagnosis and treatment information available. The resources being made available will also provide up-to-date information about the H1N1 vaccine.

Stop the Spread  Stop the Spread is a campaign provided by Maricopa County Department of Public Health to educate the public about the Novel H1N1 Flu pandemic, how it differs from seasonal flu, and how these two flu viruses can impact you, your family, and your community.
