Swine flu

H1N1 flu virus, or swine flu, is a highly contagious disease. People who become ill with H1N1 suffer a wide variety of symptoms. These symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. At the end of October the government will be sending out swine flu vaccinations to help people fight this disease. Schools across the country are taking whatever steps necessary in order to protect their students. Everyone should wash their hands more often and carry purell on them so that they can prevent the spread of the flu.
