This flu season is not business as usual. Let’s get ahead of it together.
National Influenza Vaccination Week is a helpful reminder to pause, prepare, and support the people who keep your facility running. Flu season impacts more than just vaccination rates. It influences your workforce, patient care, and the stability of your daily operations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highlights steps that can lower flu risk each year. With a broader-coverage vaccine and a steady supply forecast for the 2025–2026 season, now is the time to act and set your team up for a healthier winter.
For healthcare facilities, preparation needs to be practical and people-focused. Propelus Immuware® offers guidance that fits the realities of frontline work:
- Make vaccination simple with convenient onsite clinics, timed reminders, and clear follow up.
- Reinforce infection prevention through strong hand hygiene practices, proper use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and rapid isolation protocols.
- Strengthen staffing resilience so your team can respond when flu activity rises.
- Use technology to automate outreach, track vaccination status, connect with state immunization registries, and flag compliance gaps early.
- Think beyond flu and support year-round immunization so your team stays protected in every season.
This work matters. When flu spreads in a healthcare setting, the impact reaches both patient safety and staff wellbeing. Recent seasons classified as high severity show how important it is to shift from reactive steps to proactive planning.
