The Iredell County Health Department believes it is important to keep you informed about the Pandemic A (H1N1) outbreak. The symptoms of Novel H1N1 are similar to the symptoms of regular flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have also reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with Pandemic A (H1N1). Like the regular flu, Pandemic A (H1N1) may cause a more severe illness in people with certain chronic medical conditions. If you believe you may have any type of flu, we encourage you to call or contact your doctor. For more information on the Pandemic A (H1N1) in North Carolina call 800-662-7030 or TDY 877-452-2514.
