H1N1 Influenza A Virus

Due to the heightened awareness of the H1N1 Influenza A Virus (a.k.a. “swine flu), emergency responders are asking people not to panic. They say if you think you need medical attention call your doctor's office and not 911. You should only call 911 if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • Confusion
  • Severe headaches not improved by Tylenol or Ibuprofen
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Chest pain
  • Fainting
  • Continuous vomiting or diarrhea

If emergency responders suspect the patient has been infected with the H1N1 Influenza A Virus, then they will take precautions.Some of these precautions may include, but are not limited to, the following:

·Gloves

·Gowns

·Goggles or other eye protection

·Masks (for both the patient and the responder)
