Swine Flu Information for our members

[Jayman01]

For those of you who are new; I am a public health professional by trade. Anyway, I know we have some immune system compromized members here on the Forum. I am putting this information out for everyone because in the last few weeks I have heard a lot of in accurate facts about Swine Flu just in my own neck of the woods. I have also heard and read misleading statements about Swine Flu from the news media in general. Folks, If you want the real facts please read the information below. This is the material being distributed to your departments of health locally from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I am hoping that this information will help with early detection and whatever preventative measures that should be taken. Again, These are the facts straight from the CDC.
