H1N1 Flu VirusIt is important members and the public are informed on how best to protect themselves against H1N1 Flu. These simple steps include: frequent handwashing; coughing and sneezing into your arm/sleeve; getting an annual flu vaccination; and staying home when sick. The Canadian Public Health Agency highlights additional information including a Fact Sheet and FAQ's on how best to prepare for this outbreak. We will continue to monitor information available and will link to experts with up-to-date information on NANB's web site. You can also contact a Nursing Practice Consultant if you have questions or call 1 800 442-4417 / (506) 458-8731. NANB Celebrates NNW 2009National Nursing Week (NNW) takes place May 11-17, 2009.
