Flu Threats Already Have Schools in a Tizzy


According to CleanLink, an international on-line information resource management portal, for sanitary supply distributors, building service contractors, and in-house cleaning professionals. Schools in the Southern District of Michigan, sent students home with the flu. This widespread flu epidemic caused doors to close for days, during the last week of October 2018.  



The Center of Disease Control is increasing its campaign to evoke citizens to take the flu shot this year. Assuming this season may be the deadliest flu season ever.



News reported by WWJ News Radio 950, also conveyed that the spread of flu germs, was caused by teachers spreading it to students. Seemingly, reports also convey, that 20 percent of the school population was home with the flu, due to this outbreak.



In, Shreveport, LA, a similar outbreak occurred, evoking a 15 percent absenteeism, among teachers and students.



One way for schools to combat the spread of the flu virus, is offering flu shoots on site. This can be done by sending permission slips home with students, so parents can sign them, and those students can receive flu shots from the on-staff nurse. If on-staff nurses aren’t on campus; schools should partner with local health departments and hospitals, to designate a day of the week, when shots can be administered to those students, whose parents condone such shots be provided.


Furthermore, teachers should take an active role in protecting themselves from being victims of the flu. This should involve washing their hands, and keeping hand sanitizer in their classrooms, so students can utilize the sanitation substance regularly.
