Notes from the Nurse Whooping Cough Notice We have been notified that we have had a case of whooping cough (pertussis) in the school. Whooping cough, which can be spread by coughing or sneezing, is an infection that affects the airways. The typical vaccination schedule involves five shots between ages 2 months to 4-6 years and then a booster around age 11. For more information, click here. Cold & Flu Season Reminder as we enter cold and flu season: students should be drinking lots of water. They are permitted to carry water bottles that are CLEAR during the school day. If they have a cough and are going to want cough drops throughout the day, those need to be sent in from home (the nurse does not have a supply in her office). The nurse cannot give out over the counter medication unless it has been sent in from home and the proper paperwork has been filled out. This includes Tylenol and Advil. For a list of cold vs. flu symptoms click here.
