Children may go to school once they feel well enough to participate in regular daily activities. A lingering cough does not mean that your child's illness is contagious.
You can reduce the chances of your child getting the flu by having your doctor vaccinate your child with the flu vaccine, although it is not suitable for all children. For more information on the flu vaccine, contact the Ministry of Health Flu Line at 1-866-358-6968 or 1-800-387-5559, or visit its Web site at: http://www.gov.on.ca/health.
