H1N1 flu virus vaccine will be made available to everyone who needs and wants it and all British Columbians who need and want the H1N1 vaccine.
What are the symptoms of H1N1?
The symptoms of the H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of regular seasonal influenza and include abrupt onset of fever (>38 degrees C), cough, sore throat, headache, general aches, fatigue, eye pain, shortness of breath, and lack of appetite.
How to keep yourself and others Healthy
-wash your hands often with soap and water or use an alcohol based hand rub.
-cough or sneeze into a tissue or your sleeve, not into your hands
-avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, as germs can spread that way
-if you are sick, STAY HOME and avoid public places to prevent the spread
-practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage stress, drink plenty of fluids, eat nutritious foods, and avoid smoking, which may increase the risk of serious consequences if you do contract the flu.
