We see flu deaths every year. Usually the old and infirm. Last year was different, we saw two people die one in his late teens the other in their early 20’s from the H1N1 flu, neither with any chronic conditions. It was very unusual for a facility our sized and too early in the season. Our ID guys were in a panic, thankfully, we saw other strains in the flu season.
I don’t know why you would refuse the flu shot because on H1N1, if it did not have that strain, it would definitely have another swine flu strain.
U have taken flu shorts every year since they stopped using a live flu virus, 2 years ago I had a strange skin reaction that my E&T said might be from the preservative. He advised me to only take a flu shot that had no preservative. It was hard to find last year but I finally found it at all places, Walgreens. Has your facility gotten any flu vaccine without preservatives this year? I am wondering if it will be hard to find again.
sorry typo...... I have taken .... not U (good grief)
