Updated information on the novel H1N1 Flu Virus
As the nation braces for a predicted surge in cases of novel H1N1 flu this fall, healthcare workers have many questions. Is my facility prepared to meet the challenge? If I become sick, what should I do? Can my employer require me to be vaccinated? Are there contract protections our local should consider negotiating? AFT Healthcare will be devoting a special section of our website to information on novel H1N1 which will be updated on a regular basis. We've also just updated our FAQ about H1N1.
