[QUOTE="donna723, post: 314415, member: 1883"] I really don't know the answer to your question but it just burns me up to hear about the child who was sent to school sick for a week, even in the middle of a flu epidemic! What are those people thinking? Not only is it horrible for the child who is sick but he's spreading it around to all the other kids and the teachers! Maybe it's just me, but every time I hear about some kid getting a 'perfect attendance' award, I just want to go up to the parents and blap them a good one! I was always thinking, "Yeah, good for you! You're the one who sent his sick kid to school and then MINE caught it!" Either that child had been lucky enough to never be sick for even one day, or they were sending them to school, sick or not! I work in a prison where we have over 1,200 inmates and about 400 staff, all in close proximity and NOT where you want a flu epidemic going around! At first they had signs up [I]asking[/I] people, visitors and staff, who were sick not to enter. Now, they have signs up saying that they will REFUSE to allow someone who is obviously sick to enter the institution! And because we are a govt. entity, we are getting enough vaccine to immunize both inmates and staff ... it's a little late in coming but better than nothing. [/QUOTE]
