Dear parents, If your child is not feeling well or exhibiting cold or flu symptoms, keep him or her home from school or family gatherings. Kids easily spread contagious viruses in classrooms and playgrounds.
Always remember that, Flu vaccine can save lives and is one of the most effective ways to protect your child from severe illness.
