H1N1 Human Swine Flu Update

The 2010 Seasonal flu vaccine protects against swine flu as well as 2 other strains of influenza.

Human swine flue is now considered to be a mild illness in most people. Only people with underlying conditions will be tested

Voluntary home isolation is recommended for those who have mild illness
Contacts will no longer be isolated

People with underlying medical conditions and pregnant women are urged to seek medical attention if they have acute respiratory symptoms.

Additional information is also available at the Western Australian Department of Health Swine Flu website: http://www.health.wa.gov.au/swine_flu/home

However, at Rocky Bay, we still need to be mindful of following the standard infection control protocols at all times and to continue with a focus on early detection and treatment of people who may be vulnerable to severe outcomes.
