Citizens of our town: Heed this message!!
There are new outbreaks of the Swine Flu found in NJ this morning. Please take your reasonable precautions, including:
1. Get your flu shots if you are over age 50 or under age 15. (this vaccine will not prevent Swine flu, but will increase your resistance to regular seasonal flu)
2. Make sure you use a hand sanitizer when coming into contact with others
3. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing
4. Wash your hands particularly after coming into contact with some one who exhibits any symptoms of the flu.
If you want additional information, please go to www.cdc.gov/swineflu/key_facts.htm
Please post your comments or incidents here, in addition to getting prompt medical treatment if you suspect exposure.
I have contacted the Hospital for additional comment and offered them the ability to post specific material here.
