This algorithm was developed for use only by physicians and those under their direct supervision, not for use by general public, to help in discussions and providing advice to parents or other caregivers of ill children regarding seeking medical care for an influenza-like illness. The algorithm can be used regardless of whether or not the child has been vaccinated for influenza. Caregivers of children who may have potentially life threatening signs and symptoms, such as unresponsiveness, or respiratory distress and/or cyanosis (blue-colored skin), should be instructed to dial 911.
