Healthcare workers are committed to improving the health of their patients even in the most critical times such as the current pandemic. Every year, the flu season leads to increased pressure on hospitals and healthcare settings including the staff. This is in part due to the 3 to 5 million serious cases of flu, some of which will require hospitalisation, but also staff sick leave and loss of productivity.

The #FluShot protects healthcare workers (#HCWs), their patients, and their families, yet many countries struggle to achieve sufficient HCW vaccination rates.
This is despite the fact that studies have shown HCWs are more likely to get the flu than the general population, with 20% of the group infected per year.
What can be done? Education, compensation and accountability are top recommendations in our new article. Learn more about how we can stand #TogetherAgainstFlu here 🔽
