Swine flu leaflets available now

The government is sending out a leaflet about swine flu. It is available in 15 formats. You can download it here.

There have been 27 cases of swine flu - or, to give it its official name, influenza A (H1N1) infection -  in the UK and 1,124 worldwide. But it makes sense to be prepared.

Prevention is key. Wash your hands regularly. Use clean tissues and bin them afterwards. If you are concerned, see your GP sooner rather than later. Swine flu can be treated but the treatment needs to be taken quickly once symptoms start.
