And now Derry gets swine flu . . .

Derry schools confirm H1N1

DERRY — Several cases of H1N1 flu have been confirmed in the Derry school district and also at Pinkerton Academy.
Notices were sent home to parents about the flu cases, including three confirmed at Barka Elementary, one at West Running Brook Middle School, and two cases at Pinkerton Academy.
In Pinkerton's message, Headmaster Mary Anderson and head nurse Anna Davis stressed the school's policy remained the same as in any strain of influenza, with good hygiene and health practices in effect.
"The 'take home message' remains the same: the current situation calls for concern, good self care and prevention practices, and common sense — not panic!" the Pinkerton notice said.
