About this page

This page is a notice from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare warning about abnormal behavior in children and adolescents with influenza. Abnormal behaviors such as sudden running or attempting to leave rooms have been reported regardless of antiviral medication type or use. Falls and deaths have also been documented. The ministry recommends not leaving children unattended for at least two days after treatment starts, securing windows in high-rise apartments, avoiding balcony-facing rooms, and using first-floor bedrooms in houses. Healthcare facilities have been instructed to implement these safety measures.
