** Flu Update **

Foothill College continues to work closely with Santa Clara County Public Health Services to monitor pandemic H1N1 influenza in our community and to make decisions about the best steps to take to protect the health of students and staff. The most frequently asked questions concern vaccinations for seasonal and H1N1 flu. For the most recent information available to us, please visit:

Please remember to:
  • ...cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze.
  • ...practice good hand hygiene.
  • ...if you are ill, go to Foothill Health Services.
  • Stay at home if you develop flu-like symptoms. Remain at home until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medicine.
  • Check with your doctor about getting yourself, your children or family members vaccinated for seasonal (regular) flu and for H1N1 flu, if you are in a high-risk group.
