Flu at Bronson
Vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that everyone six months and older get a flu vaccine as soon as vaccine is available. While flu is unpredictable, it is likely that 2009 H1N1 viruses and regular seasonal viruses will cause illness in the U.S. this flu season. The 2010-2011 flu vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an H3N2 virus, an influenza B virus and the H1N1 virus that caused so much illness last season. In the event of vaccine shortage, Bronson will allocate vaccine to CDC previously identified high risk groups. This includes people with lung disease, like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), diabetes, heart, or neurologic disease, and women who are pregnant.
