How do I know the difference between 2009 H1N1 flu or seasonal flu?
It will be very hard to tell whether someone who is sick has 2009 H1N1 flu or seasonal flu. Public health officials and medical authorities do not recommend laboratory testing except in specific circumstances. Anyone who has flu-like symptoms should stay home and not go to work or school.
Symptoms of flu include fever or chills and cough or sore throat. Other possible symptoms include runny nose, body aches, headache, tiredness, diarrhea, or vomiting.
How do I recognize a fever or signs of a fever?
A fever is a temperature taken with a thermometer that is equal to or greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius). If a sick person’s temperature cannot be taken, look to see whether the person feels very warm, has a flushed appearance, is sweating, or is shivering.
Will there be a 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine?
Yes. The 2009 H1N1 flu vaccine is expected to be available for the public in October 2009. The seasonal flu vaccine will be available from early September 2009 onward.
Who is at high risk for medical complications from flu?
Anyone can get flu and can have serious problems from flu, though some groups are at higher risk for complications from seasonal or 2009 H1N1 flu. These include children younger than 5 years of age, pregnant women, people of any age with chronic health conditions, and people 65 years of age and older.
Medical conditions associated with a higher risk of flu-related complications include: chronic pulmonary (including asthma), cardiovascular (except hypertension), renal, hepatic, cognitive, neurologic/neuromuscular, hematologic, or metabolic disorders (including diabetes mellitus) and immunosuppression (including HIV and immunosuppression caused by medications).
Individuals should talk with their healthcare provider to determine whether they are at higher risk for flu complications, especially if they have been in close contact with others who are sick with flu or flu-like illness.
If people in these groups get flu-like symptoms, they should seek treatment—including antiviral treatment—from a healthcare provider within 48 hours.
