As the new school year begins and the seasonal flu season loom, public health and school officials are confident they have plans in place to respond to the expected return of H1N1 influenza.  “ We know that 2009 H1N1 influenza was still present over the summer months,” noted Vincent Rivelli.  “Public health professionals and school officials have been meeting throughout the summer to strengthen their surveillance and response efforts as students and faculty return to school throughout Hudson County.  This flu never really went away over the summer, which is very unusual.  So, while it remains relatively mild, we know we need to watch it very closely, especially because it will overlap the regular flu season.”
