During flu season, many questions arise relating to prevention and treatment.  Below are some resources about seasonal flu and the 2009 H1N1 nominal flu:

 

Prevention

Seasonal flu - The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says "Take 3" actions to fight the flu.

 

2009 H1N1 nominal flu - Although prevention techniques for H1N1 do not differ much from the seasonal flu recommendations, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention offer more detailed everyday steps to protect your health.

 

 

Treatment

Seasonal and H1N1 - If you or a loved one gets sick, it is important to stay home and watch for complications.  Steps are different according to age.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention details detection, warning signs, treatment and vaccination.

 

Klamath County

The Oregon Public Health Division has additional information that is specific to Oregon, including a toll-free flu hotline for the public and clinicians, 1-800-978-3040.

 

The Klamath County Health Department keeps track of H1N1 vaccine distribution sites.
