For the Week of Nov. 30
Note: A sound bite is available at: http://www.dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/audio.aspxFlu prevention tip of the week from Dr. Joann Schaefer, Chief Medical Officer for the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. “If you’re pregnant, be sure to get both a regular flu shot and a H1N1 flu shot when they’re available in your community. This is the best way to protect your newborn because you’ll pass those antibodies on to your baby.” For the latest flu updates and information about flu prevention, visit the DHHS Web site at www.dhhs.ne.gov/publichealth/pages/influenza_index.aspx.
