This shot was for the "regular" seasonal influenza. LifeBridge Health is doing everythi
ng it can to make sure employees are as protected and prepared as possible. All employees are encouraged to get their seasonal flu shot, and receive a free meal ticket as an incentive. The seasonal flu peaks in February.
When the H1N1 vaccination becomes available, and, if there are enough, all LifeBridge Health employees will be offered that shot as well. If there is a shortage, those health c
are workers directly interacting with patients will be prioritized.
Meanwhile, there are cautionary steps everyone should take: wash your hands frequently; cough in the crook of your elbow; and stay home if you are sick. Stay tuned to learn more about what LifeBridge Health is doing to promote hand washing across Baltimore.
