As Threadworms are highly contagious, it is important to treat when it occurs. Threadworms primarily affect young children, therefore schools are in a prime position to take action in this area.

Johnson & Johnson Pacific Pty Limited is pleased to bring you a suggested Schools Action Plan. It consists of using education materials for teachers and parents to help solve the problem of Threadworms. It includes materials to send home with students PLUS special advertisements for placement in your school newsletter to discuss symptoms of Threadworms.

Each of the materials has been designed to be viewed on screen then printed off for further reference and distribution to families within your school.
