Three cases of swine flu in Shepherd's Bush

Posted by Dan Hodges on Jun 25, 09 12:43 PM in Health

Another child in White City has tested positive for swine flu.

Health officials decided not to hand out antiviral drugs or close Canberra Primary School, where the child is a pupil, because no-one there is thought to have been exposed while the disease is infectious.

It follows two confirmed cases in nearby Bentworth Primary, where the infected children are recovering quickly at home.

Anyone who spots symptoms of the flu-like illness should contact their own GP or call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.
