2024 11 12 Letter to Superintendents - H5 Avian Influenza (Final).pdf

Please see the letter attached for more information. We encourage everyone to practice the preventative measures suggested, including:

  • Stay up to date on all immunizations, especially the seasonal flu vaccine
  • Do not touch sick or dead animals
  • Stay home if you are sick
