A Message from Southeast Public Health

<p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Families,</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We are sharing the following letter from Southeast Public Health, which contains important information for families:</span></p><hr><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear parents, guardians and staff:</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">RE: First Influenza A Confirmed Case of the Season</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Please be advised that Southeast Public Health (SEPH) has received laboratory confirmation of the first case of influenza A for the </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">2025-2026 </strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">season. We are providing this information so that you will be able to take steps to ensure the best protection possible for yourself and your family.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Influenza causes mild to severe illness and can lead to serious health complications, even in healthy children and adults. Immunization is the best way to prevent influenza; even in years when there is a strain mismatch, the flu vaccine will still offer some protection. The influenza vaccine (flu shot) is available free of charge to anyone who lives, works or goes to school in Ontario who is 6 months of age and over. Contact your health-care provider or local pharmacy for your influenza vaccine if your family has not yet been immunized. For children under 5 years of age who cannot receive their immunization from their health-care provider, </span><a href="https://southeastph.ca/health-topics/respiratory-season-vaccines/" class="editor-link"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Southeast Public Health is offering clinics</span></a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Next to immunization, the single most important way to prevent the spread of infection is to clean hands often with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers should only be used for children if they are assisted and should be stored out of reach of young children.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The symptoms of influenza include:</span></p><ul class="editor-list-ul"><li value="1" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">fever (greater than 38.0°C/100.4 °F)</span></li><li value="2" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">dry cough</span></li><li value="3" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">chills</span></li><li value="4" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">headache</span></li><li value="5" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">muscle aches</span></li><li value="6" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">loss of appetite</span></li><li value="7" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">sore throat</span></li><li value="8" class="editor-listitem"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">runny nose</span></li></ul><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">&nbsp;Young children may also experience nausea and vomiting with the above symptoms.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">If your child is feeling unwell, please keep them home until they are fever-free and their symptoms have improved for at least 24 hours (or 48 hours if they’ve had vomiting or diarrhea). When your child returns to school, we encourage them to wear a well-fitting mask for 10 days from when their symptoms started to help keep others healthy.
