Glorious Prince of the heavenly hosts and vic-
tor over rebelliious spirits, be mindful of me
who am so weak and sinful and yet so prone to
pride and ambition. Lend me, I pray, thy pow-
erful aid in every temptation and difficulty, and
above all do not forsake me in my last struggle
with the powers of evil. Amen.

The Real Cost in Dollars of the Flu.
We have already talked about the impact on families the Flu has from a health perspective. I am constantly reading advice from the
American Academy of Pediatrics and the Center for Disease Control to learn new ways to protect our children at school. I have to
say I was absolutely floored to read the statistical information about the cost of the Flu in dollars to Americans last year.
Here’s a little of what we know from the 2018-19 flu season.
• The annual direct costs, such as hospital and doctor’s office visits, medications, of influenza (flu) in the United States are an
estimated $4.6 billion.
• The flu causes U.S. employees to miss approximately 17 million workdays due to flu, at an estimated $7 billion a year in
sick days and lost productivity.
• The Flu causes another 7 billion dollars in lost wages to parents who miss work to take care of their children with the flu.
• Over 50% of parents report using some or all their vacation time to care for a child with the flu.
Sounds familiar? For working parents, it all too often turns into a scramble to find someone to care for their kids. Some are fortu-
nate enough to have healthy family or friends to rely on. For others, if they’re unable to work at home, the only other option is to
take days off from work. This can mean days away – something many parents can’t afford.
Around a quarter of kids catch the flu each year; most of them missing between three and 12 days from school or day care, and
their siblings missing between one and six days. And with the flu frequently resulting in complications, the most common of which
is ear infections, doctor visits, even hospitalization, can enter the picture.
Flu is a serious illness that can wreak havoc on the lives of parents and children.
There is a secondary impact in quality of life for these families is the loss of healthy downtime. When parents use their vacation time
for illness, less leisure time is available for the whole family. This results in more fatigue for the American worker and their family.
With the flu season already delivering on its promise to be severe, I just can’t arm our Sacred heart families with enough informa-
tion. Below is an excerpt from the American Academy of Pediatrics letter to parent on Influenza. It is worth reading.
“Influenza (“the flu”) is an infectious disease caused by a virus. When children are in a group with other children, they are more
likely to get infectious diseases like influenza. Flu can cause serious illness that may result in hospitalization or death. Children with
certain conditions are at high risk for flu complications, but most who get the flu are healthy children. Even one death from the flu
is too many – it’s very important for us to work together to protect the children in our care!
The single best way to protect against influenza is to get vaccinated each year. Yearly flu vaccination is needed because immunity
against the flu wears off over time. In addition, the flu virus strains often change, so the vaccine also changes from year-to-year in
order to match the flu viruses expected to be circulating in the community.
To reduce the risk of becoming sick with influenza, everyone 6 months of age and older, including childcare staff, must receive the
influenza vaccine. This critically important approach puts the health and safety of everyone in the childcare setting first.
Here are some ways we can work together to promote health and reduce illness.
Get Vaccinated for Seasonal Influenza Every Year A flu vaccine is the best way to protect against getting the flu.
• All people 6 months and older need a flu vaccine each year.
• Pregnant women are at higher risk of severe illness from influenza. Flu shots may be given to pregnant women at any time during
pregnancy. The flu vaccine will protect expectant mothers and their unborn babies and will help protect their baby in the first few
months of life.
• Babies cannot get vaccinated until they are 6 months old. That’s why it is critical that people who live with or care for these young
infants get vaccinated. (This is called “cocooning” -when you protect babies by having those around them get vaccinated).
Use Good Hygiene Whenever children are together, there is a chance of spreading infections. This is especially true among infants and
toddlers who use their hands to wipe their noses or rub their eyes and then handle toys or touch other children. In turn, these other
children then touch their noses and rub their eyes, so the virus now goes from the nose or eyes of one child (by way of hands or toys)
to the next child who then rubs his own eyes or nose.
As adults, we know how to wash our hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing, sneezing, or wiping noses. It’s also
important to cover your own mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and then wash your hands afterward. If you
don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow or shoulder, not into your hands.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, as germs are spread this way. The (school) works hard to maintain these practices, and we
spend time teaching the children to do these things as well. Please help us by reinforcing these activities at home!
Is Your Child Too Sick to Go to School? When children are healthy, they can attend childcare or school, and parents can go to work. Get-
ting the flu vaccine is the best way to make sure everyone can continue to participate in these important activities. However, any child
with respiratory symptoms (cough, runny nose, or sore throat) and fever should be excluded (kept home) from school.
The child can return to school:
• after the fever has resolved (without the use of fever-reducing medicine for 24 hours);
• the child can participate in normal activities; and
• the staff can care for the child without compromising their ability to care for the other children in the group.”
Wishing you a healthy week ahead (and no flu!),
