I have yet to find the answer to this question. The standard simply states that the child must be "fever free" for 24 hours without taking fever reducing medications. Can you help us by defining "fever" under the standard. Thanks I have received e-mails from parents asking what is a “fever” under the H1N1 standard. I have yet to find the answer to this question.
