NEW YORK NURSE: December 2009

All about the flu

The NYSNA website has a new, one-stop location for those who are looking for information about influenza.

“All About the Flu” has a wide range of data compiled by NYSNA experts in nursing practice, occupational health and safety, and legislative issues. Look for links to the CDC weekly report on influenza outbreaks, NYSNA’s podcast on immunization against the flu, and a new webinar (offered free of charge until Dec. 31).

General topics include:

• Influenza symptoms and transmission
• Influenza cases in the U.S.
• Emergencies and preparedness
• Protection for nurses in the workplace
• Flu vaccinations

Just click on the icon at the bottom of the home page. In addition, all NYSNA nursing representatives have a toolkit of information they can share with members who want to learn more about this timely issue.
