As you are all aware, flu season is upon us. Following are the guidelines that we have developed to handle the prevention and treatment of flu-like symptoms in the best interests of our patients and our practice.Flu-like symptoms include a fever of greater than 99.9 degrees with any of the following symptoms: cough, he...adache, runny/stuffy nose, muscle aches, extreme fatigue, sore throat, sneezing, nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea.According to the CDC, “unlike seasonal flu, those experiencing the highest morbidity and mortality with H1N1 flu are children and young adults. Pregnant women (particularly those in the third trimester) and infants are at a very high risk of influenza related complications.” Please be aware that the H1N1 (swine) flu does not directly affect an unborn child.For our high risk patients (pregnant, immediately postpartum and those who have had recent surgery) experiencing flu-like symptoms, we ask that you call our office to speak to an advice nurse. Anti-viral medications may be able to be called in over the phone, allowing you to remain at home and helping us to protect our healthy patients.We will be administering the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available according to the high risk CDC guidelines.We encourage you to be vaccinated for the seasonal flu as soon as possible and for the swine (H1N1) flu if you are in one of the high risk categories as soon as the vaccine is available.Due to the unique immune and high risk status of our patient population, we ask that you refrain from being seen in our offices for non-emergency problems if you are experiencing flu-like symptoms or are being treated for the flu.If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms and are NOT pregnant, immediately postpartum or recently undergone a surgical procedure, please contact your Primary Care Provider for recommendations.Should you arrive at our office with flu-like symptoms, we kindly request that you notify a front desk staff member immediately.The prevention of the spread of both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 flu is important. You can find more information about the H1N1 flu at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/qa.htm.
