Dear Parents/Guardians:
As you may be aware, a new flu virus called the 2009 H1N1 (Swine flu) appeared in the United States in late April. This virus has caused mild to severe illness, including hospitalizations and deaths in adults and children.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that children and young adults aged 6 months through 24 years be vaccinated against 2009 h1N1 as soon as the vaccine is available. A flu shot is the best way to protect your child from this potentially serious disease. The Massillon City Health Department is working with your child’s school to give the 2009 H1N1 influenza vaccine to children at school, free of charge.
Your child may receive a H1N1 flu shot at his/her school of attendance on the following dates:
Emerson - November 9 - 9:30-11:30
Bowers - November 9 - 1:00- 3:30
Smith - November 10 - 9:30-11:30
Franklin - November 10 - 1:00-3:30
Whittier - November 12 - 9:30- until done
Gorrell - November 13 - 9:30- until done
MMS - November 18- 8:30-3:00
WHS - November 20 - 8:00-2:30
Massillon Digital - November 20-@ WHS- 8:00-2:30
One parent or guardian may be present for any child under 18 years of age. Children 9 years and younger will need another shot about 4 weeks after their first H1N1 shot. Plans will be made with the Massillon City Health Department to give the second shot for our students.
Each student was given an Influenza Vaccine Administration Record (permission slip) that must be returned no later than Wednesday, November 4, 2009 if you want your child to receive the H1N1 shot. In case it has been misplaced, you may contact your child’s building for a new copy of the permission slip. There can be no exceptions for returning the slip beyond this date. In case the Health Department does not have an adequate supply of vaccinations, new permission slips with a rescheduled date will be sent home.
If you have any questions about the vaccine or the vaccination clinic, please call the Massillon Health Department at 330-830-1712 between the hours of 9a.m. and 4 p.m. Please visit the CDC 2009 H1N1 Website at http://wwwcdc/h1n1flu and http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1fluparents for information especially for parents. Your child’s doctor can also answer your questions about the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. You may also want to check with your doctor’s office to determine if they will be able to provide either the seasonal influenza vaccine and/or the 2009 H1N1 vaccine to your child.
Sincerely,
John Graven
Director of Pupil Services

Dear Families:
We are aware that influenza is currently circulating in our local community and wanted to pass along some information to help keep your family healthy.
All strains of flu are spread the same way, mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
Symptoms of influenza can include:
• elevated temperature, usually over 100 F
• headache and body aches
• cough
• sore throat
• cold symptoms
• lethargy (sluggishness)
• dizziness
• nausea
• vomiting
• diarrhea
Our best line of defense is FREQUENT, good hand washing or the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Hands should be washed with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds; an alcohol-based hand sanitizer can be used if hand washing is not possible. Make sure you cough or sneeze into a tissue or the inside part of your bent elbow. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. This is how germs are spread. Please avoid contact with sick people.
If you feel your child is getting the flu, contact your physician. Your child is not to come to school if they have flu symptoms and they are to remain home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication.
For more in-depth information, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website is very helpful - http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/parents/ .
Cases of influenza are diagnosed in our community every fall and winter. We are working with the Stark County Health Department on a regular basis to monitor this health issue. You can contact the health department with any specific questions at (330) 830-1714.
We will keep you informed and pass along any other information as it becomes available.
Sincerely,
LISA CARMICHAEL
