Swine flu
Find the latest information about swine flu, what symptoms to
check for and advice from the health authorities in Kent.
You can find all the
latest information about swine flu on the DirectGov website or
call 0800 1 513 100.
People who have swine flu symptoms will be given a unique access
number and told where their nearest antiviral collection point is.
They should then ask a flu friend - a friend or relative who
doesn't have swine flu - to go and pick up their antivirals from
their nearest antiviral collection point. The flu friend must show
their own ID as well as that of the patient.
Contact your doctor directly if:
- you have a serious underlying illness
- you are pregnant
- you have a sick child under one year old
- your condition suddenly gets much worse
- your condition is still getting worse after seven days (five
for a child)
