If the swine flu hits like officials predict, there could be a lot of empty class-rooms around the Province this school year. School districts have been working closely with health officials to get the latest information and what can be done to avoid picking up the virus. Dr. Cristian Muecke tells Tide News, washing your hands on a regular basis is the best defence.
Dr. Muecke adds the regular flu shot, which does not protect against the swine flu, will be available next month. The pandemic vaccine is expected to be available by December.
