wow Paul I have just bagged the last copy from Amazon I hope you get commission! Kind Regards Lynda Bruce Aberdeen In a message dated 21/04/2011 08:26:06 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes: Hi Sarah and all, we are looking to have mandatory or opt out immunisation for front line staff in our higher risk areas (A & E, paeds, materntiy services and so on) and will require tjhose staff who do not wish to be vaccinated to justify their position to OH and management. We will still have an opt-in for lower risk staff groups but will firm up on our marketing to increasde uptake in these groups. There is a super book "The patient as victim and vector" by Battin et al (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Patient-Victim-Vector-Infectious-Disease/dp/0195335 83X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303370468&sr=1-1) that goes over the ethical arguements about mandated vaccination of healthcare staff Paul ________________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Sarah Witwicka [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 20 April 2011 17:05 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [OCC-HEALTH] Flu preparedness Hi all The OH dept has been asked to comment on how we might increase uptake of the flu vaccine next season. (Don't... is this the bain of every OH dept's life...?) Anyway, the CMO has issued a letter - see below http://www.dh.gov.uk/prod_consum_dh/groups/dh_digitalassets/documents/digita lasset/dh_125365.pdf In turn, NHSL issued a letter asking for assurances for next season's flu vaccinations and are asking how we are planning to increase uptake. So, all ideas/suggestions welcome... We already do advertising, visits to wards and departments, FAQ's and the like. One brilliant idea came from talking to an OH person at another hospital today. They had their night time service managers trained up to administer flu vaccinations to night staff. S :-) ******************************** Please remove this footer before replying.
