· Mobilize a heightened flu vaccination effort to help test efficiency of the structure and guard against flu complications
· Limited supply = priority distribution
· Free injections covered by U.S. government
· No mandate
· Subject to revision
|

1) Healthcare workers
2) Other high-priority residents and workers
· Nursing, skilled nursing, assisted living and independent living residents
· High-risk individuals (ex. cancer, kidney or heart disease, COPD, sickle cell, diabetes, obesity, immune-compromised)
