| For well over a year, numerous agencies in our region have been
meeting on a regular basis to begin planning for the possibility
of a widespread outbreak of the H5N1 virus, more commonly known
as "The Bird Flu."
As with any other flu, simple everyday behaviors such as consistent
hand washing can help to stop the spread of the H5N1 and MRSA virus.
We have prepared
full-color posters as a reminder
about the importance of good hygiene. If you would like copies of
this poster to place in your facilities, please contact us at
343-1267 or
email your request.
Unlike the common flu, the implications of this particular
strain of H5N1 warrant a greater degree of individual and community advance
preparation. On-going education is essential.
Information on how you can prepare for and help to avoid the common
flu, MRSA and the H591 virus can be obtained by downloading the
printable brochures and fliers listed below:
