Official Website

of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

    The .gov means its official.

    Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website. 

    Schools and Daycares

    Schools and daycares can take a number of important steps to prepare for a flu pandemic:

    • Support vaccination for all students and staff who are recommended for vaccination.
    • Suggest early treatment for people at higher risk for flu complications.
    • Educate students and staff about the importance of washing hands and other ways to avoid spreading the flu virus.
    • Help make sure that sick students and adults do not come to the facility.
    • Separate sick and well people as soon as possible.
