Influenza!

Influenza is currently reported to be at high levels throughout Switzerland. On 20 January we had the first reported case in the Campus des Nations community. Parents wishing vaccination or prophylactic treatment for influenza for their children should contact their physician. (Parents of students with a history of chronic illness – for example diabetes or asthma – should particularly discuss vaccination or prophylactic treatment with their physician.)

Symptoms of Influenza are fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscles aches and fatigue. Any students with these symptoms should be seen by a physician for diagnosis of possible influenza.
