This document summarizes a program called FluCube that aims to reduce flu absenteeism in workplaces over 100% through three key methods: increasing flu awareness during peak season, promoting early medical intervention within 24 hours of symptoms, and preventing flu spread. Traditional flu shot programs alone typically only save 20% of expected sick days. The FluCube program provides online doctor access, discounts, and interactive materials to employees to promote these goals at a cost of $14.95-$19.95 per employee.
This document discusses business planning considerations for the 2009-2010 influenza season. It provides updates on the seasonal flu vaccine shortage and the new H1N1 vaccine. It recommends that businesses implement infection prevention measures like hand washing, encourage staff to get vaccinated, and develop pandemic plans to minimize business disruptions from staff absences. Businesses should clearly communicate sick policies, check on staff daily, and have communications plans in place to update staff and customers during a flu outbreak.
This document provides information about preparing for an H1N1 pandemic. It discusses symptoms of H1N1, how it spreads, treatment options, current statistics on cases in Wisconsin, and recommendations for businesses and individuals to prepare. Healthcare systems have been preparing for a pandemic by stocking supplies, planning vaccination efforts, and establishing incident command centers to coordinate response. Proper hand washing, covering coughs, and staying home when sick can help contain the virus.
Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu and include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, and cold symptoms. While most people feel better within 2-3 weeks, some high risk groups can develop severe complications. Antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can reduce symptom duration if taken within 48 hours, and are prescribed based on symptoms and risk factors. Proper hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding sick people, and getting vaccinated can help prevent spread of the virus.
Ovation Wellness provides free on-site flu vaccination clinics for businesses to promote employee wellness.

This document provides information about preparing workplaces for an influenza pandemic. It discusses the potential impact of a pandemic on workers and businesses. It outlines the steps employers should take to reduce exposure risks, including conducting risk assessments, implementing infection control measures, communicating with employees, and training workers. Resources from OSHA and other organizations are recommended to help employers develop pandemic preparedness plans.
The document provides information on preparing credit union staff for potential impacts of the H1N1 virus, including:
1) Educating staff on the virus, its symptoms, and high-risk groups.
2) Evaluating the virus spread locally and recommending preventative measures like handwashing, surface cleaning, and staying home when sick.
3) Communicating safety procedures to staff and members through various channels and encouraging vaccination when available.
This document discusses several topics related to influenza vaccination:
1. It explains that even healthy individuals who have avoided the flu in the past are still at risk each year and should get vaccinated, as flu strains evolve over time.
2. It describes the difference between trivalent and quadrivalent flu vaccines, with quadrivalent vaccines protecting against two influenza A strains and two B strains.
3. It notes that yearly flu vaccines are needed because immunity decreases over time and flu viruses can drift, requiring reformulation of the vaccine each season to match circulating strains.
The document provides guidance for organizations on preparing for a potential resurgence of the H1N1 virus in the fall. It discusses the nature of the H1N1 virus and its symptoms. It also outlines legal considerations under OSHA, workers' compensation, FMLA, ADA, and FLSA. The document recommends that organizations develop pandemic plans that include education, risk evaluation, preparedness assessment, policy changes, communication strategies, and documentation practices. Organizations are advised to identify essential employees and prepare for potential staffing shortages during a pandemic.
This document provides guidance for families to become self-sufficient in preparation for an H5N1 influenza pandemic that could cause widespread societal disruptions lasting over a year. It discusses the threat of the H5N1 virus, estimates high global infection and death rates, and explains how pandemic impacts like workforce reductions and multiple waves of the virus could interrupt critical services and supplies for extended periods of time. The document recommends families prepare to be self-sufficient for at least one year to survive potential disruptions from a pandemic of this magnitude.

This document provides information about pandemic influenza and its potential impact. It was created as a planning toolkit for businesses. Pandemic influenza is different from seasonal flu in that it will likely infect 25%+ of the population as people have little immunity. It could cause high rates of illness, death, social disruption and economic losses. Employers are encouraged to develop business continuity plans to address issues like absenteeism and supply chain disruptions that may occur during a pandemic.
Mumps is a viral infection that causes swelling of the salivary glands. It is typically a mild childhood illness characterized by swollen cheeks or jaw. While usually harmless and resolving within 10 days, complications can include meningitis, deafness, or sterility. Mumps spreads through saliva and mucus via coughing, sneezing or touching infected surfaces. The best prevention is the MMR vaccine, which is highly effective against mumps when administered in two doses in childhood. Public health efforts focus on maintaining high vaccination rates through mandatory immunization programs to control mumps outbreaks.

Question 1:
Disaster Planning.
A disaster can be human-made or natural, occurring at an unexpected time, leading to damages, death, and sometimes disease outbreaks. Disasters can occur in different forms. It always requires the leaders of healthcare to take an all-hazards approach, but most importantly, the planning and practicing for the events is crucial for a favorable outcome (Chartoff & Roman, 2020). Based on the scenarios of discussion, Influenza, also known as Flu, is a contagious respiratory illness that can be mild, severe or lead to death, and it is caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs (CDC, 2019). The primary prevention of flu, which causes thousands of deaths, is through yearly vaccination. Therefore, as a public health nurse, it is crucial to educate our community on the importance of primary prevention of flu through annual vaccination and provide them with easy to understand information on how to prevent the spread of influenza.
Scenario 3:
Disease rates remaining at 20% of the population, and many schools have closed due to teacher absence. Since parents still have to work if they are not sick with the flu, what advice can you give daycare providers? What two ideas can you share with them so they can stay open and able to care for the children of working parents? Should all school sporting events be canceled? What information should parents be given? Should announcements be given daily?
The essential service provided by daycares to the community makes them an important part of every community, and as such, during the outbreak of flu, there are steps that the public health nurses can provide to maintain safety and promote prevention. A new standard in disaster recovery can be created if the right tools are given at the right time to people who will step up and put their communities back together (O'Neill & O’Neill, 2012). The PHN should start by advising and providing reliable sources such as CDC and state health department where accurate reports can be acquired regarding the flu outbreak. Daily health checks such as temperature checks, questions regarding exposure to a sick person, signs and symptom checks should be conducted on the children and staff before they are allowed into the facility.
Parents should also be advised to do the same checks on their children before dropping them off at school to avoid unnecessary anxiety. The children should also be kept in smaller groups for activities. Most importantly is the consistent practice of handwashing by students and staff. This practice should also be encouraged at home. Children who become sick while at school should be promptly isolated and picked up by their parents. It is essential to totally and daily wipe down all highly touched surfaces intermittently and at the end of school. Sporting events should be done in smaller groups or canceled base.
This document provides a pandemic preparedness checklist for businesses. It notes that while the WHO declared H1N1 a pandemic, only 41% of employers have contingency plans. A pandemic could result in 40% absenteeism due to illness, caring for family, or fear. Presenteeism, where sick employees come to work, may reduce productivity and spread illness. Consumer demand may shift, and supply chains may be interrupted. The document recommends managing communications, promoting hygiene, and planning flu shot clinics to prepare businesses for a potential flu pandemic and seasonal outbreaks.

The document discusses guidelines for diagnosing and treating high blood pressure from the National High Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee. It notes that systolic blood pressure is more important than diastolic pressure for those over 50 years old. It also discusses "prehypertension" between 120-139/80-89 mm Hg and treatment thresholds. The JNC 7 guidelines were issued in 1997 while the JNC 8 guidelines from 2013 include treatment algorithms and comparisons to JNC 7.

The JNC 7 guidelines were issued in 1997 while JNC 8 included treatment algorithms and differences from JNC 7.
This document discusses whether employees should get flu shots and if employers can require them. It notes that flu costs billions in lost productivity each year. While flu season peaks in February, getting vaccinated any time provides protection. The CDC recommends all people over 6 months get vaccinated annually. Employers may want employees vaccinated to reduce flu impacts, but some states have made mandatory vaccinations illegal due to religious exemption concerns. Employers should check state laws on mandating flu shots.
The document discusses different aspects of the flu shot, including common misconceptions, effectiveness, alternatives, and locations to receive one. It addresses that the flu shot cannot cause the flu because it does not contain live viruses. While the immune system's response may cause minor short-term reactions, the flu shot is still the best defense against the flu. Its effectiveness varies each year depending on which strains are included in the vaccine for that season. The Flumist nasal spray is an alternative for some ages that works to build immunity in the nose and bloodstream. Many locations like pharmacies and clinics offer various flu shot options for different ages.

A Skin Patrol Investigation
• Discover the truth about flu vaccine effectiveness
• Top three ways to further reduce flu absenteeism by over 100%
Published 15 Feb 2015
Skin Patrol Pty Ltd

2. It is a common misconception that flu vaccination clinics are the best and only way
to reduce flu related absenteeism. With the northern hemisphere having a higher
than average incidence of the flu and a lower than average vaccine effectiveness1
it
is important to understand what can be done this winter to better fight the effects
of the flu on your organisation. This report highlights some important facts about
traditional flu program effectiveness and provides a solution for improving flu
awareness and early intervention to reduce absenteeism.
A typical flu vaccination program could only save as little
as 8 out of an expected 48 days of sick leave per 100
employees; that’s less than 20%. That could still generate a
positive return on investment, but you could further reduce
the number of sick days taken by over 100%
“In healthy adults, flu vaccines have only
a modest effect in reducing flu symptoms
and working days lost”
“When initiated promptly, antiviral
therapy can reduce the duration of
symptoms by 1-3 days when administered
within the first 24-30 hours”2

Flu programs are likely to save only 20% of expected sick days
3. Key workplace flu program facts:
The flu awareness gap
Most Flu programs are delivered 3 months before the peak of flu season,
resulting in low early intervention and high presenteeism.
Modest effect on working days lost
In healthy adults, vaccines have only a modest effect in reducing flu
symptoms and working days lost
No early intervention solutions
When initiated promptly, anti-viral therapy available from your GP can reduce
the duration of symptoms by 1-3 days when administered in the first 24-36
hours2
Low uptake
Uptake of flu vaccinations at work and in the broader community is low,
typically less than 30% in people under the age of 50

Flu awareness gap
The flu awareness gap
As illustrated in the graph below, flu vaccinations are run between the months
of March and May but peak flu season does not occur until 3-4 months later.
As a result, flu symptom awareness and early intervention guidance is not
prevalent when it is most needed. This is likely to lead to high presenteeism
and a low number of staff seeing a GP within 24-30 hours of flu symptoms
onset.
4. Take up of the flu vaccine among people under the age of 50 is
low and even free workplace flu programs struggle to achieve
greater than 30% participation.

1. People believing they are healthy/ don’t need one
2. Inconvenience of getting a shot/ forgetting to get one in time
3. A view that vaccinations don’t work
4. A dislike of needles
5. A misconception the vaccine can give you the flu
The 5 top reasons people don’t get a flu shot3
These reasons are consistent over many years and make it
unlikely that your staff uptake will be above 39% this flu season
5. Why flu vaccines are NOT 100% effective!
How well the flu vaccine works (or its ability to prevent flu illness) can range
widely from season to season. The vaccine’s effectiveness also can vary
depending on who is being vaccinated. At least two factors play an important role
in determining the likelihood that flu vaccine will protect a person from flu illness:
1) characteristics of the person being vaccinated (such as their age and health),
and 2) the similarity or “match” between the flu viruses the flu vaccine is designed
to protect against and the flu viruses spreading in the community.
During years when the flu vaccine is not well matched to circulating viruses, it’s
possible that no benefit from flu vaccination may be observed. During years when
there is a good match between the flu vaccine and circulating viruses, it’s possible
to measure substantial benefits from vaccination in terms of preventing flu illness
(60-80%). However, even during years when the vaccine match is very good, the
benefits of vaccination will vary across the population, depending on character-
istics of the person being vaccinated and even, potentially, which vaccine was
used.4
From a return on investment perspective, running a workplace flu
program is still worthwhile but there is much more that you can do to
potentially save more lost days of productivity due to the flu this winter.
The truth about flu vaccine effectiveness
As well as offering flu shots, or at least
encouraging them, you should ensure staff
understand:
• How to best prevent the flu and stop spreading it (through good
hygiene practices)
• The early warning symptoms of the flu
• The importance of early intervention by seeing a GP within 24-30
hours of flu symptom onset
6. Early Intervention - accessing prescriptions
faster.
When administered within 24-30 hours of
flu symptom onset, antiviral medication can
reduce the duration of flu symptoms by 1-3
days. The Desktop FluCube™ and FluPad™ not
only provide a visual reminder to seek medical
treatment quickly, they connect staff to a panel
of online doctors who can prescribe appropriate
medication for immediate pick-up in your local
pharmacy.
The cube fits over standard tissue boxes
available through major office supply providers
Prevention - reducing the spread of flu and
presenteeism
A contagion spread by a single ill worker can
impose health costs on your company which
can be several times higher than the direct
costs of absenteeism of the specific workers5
.
Our new flu website - www.iamtheflu.com
provides staff with information and videos
about prevention, guides for minimising
the spread of the virus and appropriate care
pathways for getting fast, early intervention.
Interactive NFC posters
Interactive NFC (near field communication)
enabled posters featuring Tapit™ technology
provide highly visible and engaging content
during peak flu season. Staff can tap or scan
their phone on the posters and be connected
through to the iamtheflu website for more
information and early intervention pathways.

• A standard flu vaccination program is likely to only save 8 out of an expected 48
days sick leave (per 100 staff)
• Through better timed education and early intervention we estimate you could save
up to 25% sick leave from the unvaccinated staff (and those for whom the vaccine
didn’t work)
• Potential sick days saved from a flu vaccination clinic (per 100 staff) = 8
• Potential BONUS sick days saved from FluCube™ Program (per 100 staff) = 10
