Influenza activity in Virginia is currently widespread. The Prince William Health District is closely monitoring the situation and recommends the following actions to stay healthy:

Is the vaccine safe?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has information on vaccine safety.

 

What is 2009 H1N1 Influenza?

Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that first caused illness in Mexico and the United States in April 2009. It is spread the same way as seasonal flu: primarily coughing and sneezing. In addition, touching surfaces that have flu viruses on them, and then touching one’s mouth, nose, eyes can spread the virus. The H1N1 flu virus can live on hard surfaces like phones and doorknobs for up to eight hours. For more information, see the CDC’s H1N1 Flu and You fact sheet.

 

What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?
The symptoms of H1N1 flu are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting.
