From LeadingAge:
LeadingAge has been collaborating directly with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in developing resources and disseminating information to members on influenza immunization and the best approaches in combatting the flu virus.
LeadingAge’s role includes distributing CDC materials as the information becomes available, providing links to relevant webinars and additional staff education resources.
This flu season, for the 1st time, the CDC National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO) has developed a toolkit specifically targeted to supporting staff vaccination programs in long-term care.
The toolkit includes resources for increasing influenza vaccination among healthcare personnel in long-term care settings; suggestions for implementing flu vaccine programs at the workplace; and data on flu vaccines and why it's important that employees receive them.
The CDC’s long-term care toolkit is free-of-charge and is now live at: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/toolkit/long-term-care/.
