H1N1 Information for Berkeley Schools, Child Care and Early Childhood Programs

This fall, seasonal flu and pandemic 2009 H1N1 (swine) flu will be circulating at the same time and we will all need to take extra precautions.  Many parents and child care providers are concerned about the new Pandemic 2009 H1N1 flu and its impact on children, families and the child care program itself.  The contents of the"Flu Toolkit" provides you with some practical information to limit the spread of infections in child care settings an resources to use when confusion and concerns arise. 

If you operate or work at a Berkeley institution such as a school, college, hospital, clinic, or child care facility, and need additional information, please contact the Public Health Division through the Nurse of the Day at (510) 981-5300.
