DON'T GET SIDELINED BY THE FLU:
INFLUENZA PREVENTION AND TREATMENT EDUCATION PROGRAM

Don't Get Sidelined by the Flu

Children are two-to-three times more likely to get sick with the flu and spread the virus to others.  Because flu outbreaks are a major concern to schools nationwide, NASN has launched a new campaign, "Don't Get Sidelined By The Flu," which is designed to help school nurses educate parents and students about seasonal influenza.

You can download materials - available in both English and Spanish - to raise awareness about preventing and treating the flu, helping to keep your school healthy.  Materials include a flyer, fact sheet, advisory letters and a template newsletter article.
