H1N1 Flu Virus News and Information

Stay Informed

 

 

The novel H1N1 influenza virus that first caused illness in Mexico and the United States in March and April of this year has spread globally and continues to cause illness in the United States. In collaboration with national and local health officials, Lewis & Clark continues to monitor the situation, plan for a busy flu season, and provide periodic updates to the L&C community.  As the illness continues to unfold this fall, information and guidance can change rapidly.  Please be mindful that the CDC website will have the most up to date information available.  In addition, check this site often for any L&C specific updates.  General information applicable to all of our community members is offered below, along with links to the CDC, state and local health departments. Information for specific college groups (students, faculty, employees) can be found through the links on the right.
