Did you know? Medical assistants and office staff play a vital role in keeping patients healthy but are less likely to get the flu vaccine. With the onset of flu season and COVID-19 beginning to increase circulation as we head into fall, the health of our support staff is more important than ever. For those age 60+, now there’s a new vaccine against RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). Ask your doctor about adding RSV protection. You can get all your vaccinations done safely at the same time—as easy as 1, 2, 3!
Providers, staff, and patients depend on each other to prevent severe illness, hospitalization, and death due to flu, COVID-19, and RSV in seniors. Do it for yourself, your family, your patients, and your practice. Getting vaccinated also sends an important message to coworkers and patients: I got my flu vaccine—you should, too!
Many California counties require healthcare workers to be immunized. Check with your employer or local health department regarding local requirements.
