According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 5% to 20% of the population gets the flu and over 200,000 people are hospitalized each year due to influenza.  If you work in a hospital setting, you know how important it is to take measures to ensure you stay well and so do your  staff and your patients. 

Some states have recently instituted mandatory H1N1 vaccinations for health care workers.   While this has become a current controversy among some health care workers (see Forum Discussion and take the poll on this civil rights debate at  Trident's sister website: www.perfusioncommunity.com), the vaccine is designed to eradicate the problem. 

For now, prevention is important,  so avoid close contact with others, sneeze into your sleeve (not your hands) to keep germs from spreading.  If you use hand sanitizer, makes sure it contains 63% or more alcohol content  (or it is ineffective).  And of course, if your perfusion staff need to stay home sick, leaving you with  emergent staffing needs, call Trident for same day response!
