H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) Information for Parents

This page provides parents and students heading back to school with some important information on H1N1 flu.

As children return to school and spend less time outdoors and more time in confined spaces, such as classrooms, we expect to see more illness caused by H1N1 flu.

H1N1 flu is assumed to be present throughout Contra Costa County. Students in Contra Costa County will not be dismissed for cases of H1N1 influenza, unless there is a large number of students or faculty who are ill which interferes with the school's ability to function. Contra Costa Health Services will consider school and childcare dismissal on an individual basis, taking into consideration health information available at the time.

The County Office of Public Health has updated the H1N1 Vaccine FAQ's. I have attached them here for your reference. They will also be posted on our District website.
