Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

5. Environmental cleaning: definition
Environmental cleaning refers to the:
o general cleaning of surfaces and non-critical
equipment in health care facilities.
o process of maintaining a clean, healthy, and
pleasing patient and work environment.
It includes the removal of visible dirt from objects and
manually or
detergents or
surfaces, normally accomplished
mechanically, using water with
enzymatic cleaners.
7. Benefits of environmental
cleaning
Housekeeping is important in order to:
Reduce the number of microorganisms that come
in contact with clients or staff.
Reduce the risk of accidents through the
prevention of falls.
Provide a pleasant environment.
7
8. Logistics for cleaning
(Cleaning solutions)
Cleaning solution is any combination of soap
(detergent) and water, with or without a chemical
disinfectant, used to wash or wipe down
environmental surfaces.
Several combinations are available commercially or
can be prepared as needed at the health care facility
(e.g., alkaline detergents with chlorine compounds).
all soaps (detergents) and disinfectants are
Note: Not
compatible.
9. Logistics for cleaning
(Cleaning solutions)
Commonly used solutions
Plain detergent and water: used for low-risk areas
and general cleaning tasks.
Disinfectant solution (0.5% sodium hypochlorite
used for high risk and other patient care
solution:
are
10. Preparing disinfectant cleaning
solution
Prepare a 0.5% chlorine solution or obtain any
disinfectant that contains 5% carbolic acid like lysol.
Add some detergent and mix.
Continue adding detergent until the solution
becomes mildly foamy or bubbly.
Note: chlorine solutions should never be mixed
with cleaning products containing ammonia,
ammonium chloride or phosphoric acid as this
will result in release of chlorine gas.
11. Factors to consider when
selecting cleaning solutions
Intended use (e.g., cleaning, disinfection, or both)
Efficacy (e.g., does it claim to kill organisms that are
commonly found in the local environment at the
recommended contact time)
Acceptability (i.e., smell, leaves a film, ability to
damages surfaces)
Safety (i.e., side effects)
3
12. Factors to consider when
selecting cleaning solutions
Cost and availability (i.e., does it fit the budget, is it
easy to obtain in the required amounts)
Volume needed and size of product available
based on facility requirements
Easy of preparing diluted solution

13. Cleaning solutions for different care
areas
Cleaning patient care areas (general wards,
treatment rooms, washrooms, sluice rooms, etc)
o Use disinfectant cleaning solution.
Cleaning non-patient care areas (offices, waiting
rooms, etc) - Domestic cleaning is adequate. May
use only detergent and water.
14. Cleaning different care areas
rooms and other areas that have
Isolation
patients
diseases
with known transmissible
should be cleaned with
infectious
disinfectant
cleaning solution.
6
19. Environmental Cleaning
(general guidelines)
All wards and units must have cleaning schedules.
Always wear utility gloves, plastic aprons, protective
shoes and mask when cleaning.
Cleaning should always progress from the least
soiled areas to the most soiled areas.
Use damp or wet mop or cloth for walls, floors, etc.
Complete damp dusting before starting other
cleaning in the room
20. Environmental Cleaning
(general guidelines) …
Clean or wash surfaces from top to bottom
Use sweeping brush not broom.
Pay attention to high-touch surfaces such as door
handles, light switches, countertops, bedrails and end
of beds
Change cleaning solution whenever it appears dirty.
Use separate equipment for high risk areas.
Decontaminate mop and other items after use.
22. Flooding and fogging
Flooding: Areas with floor drains can be flooded with
cleaning solution. The cleaning solution should be
drained away using the floor drain. Any excess fluid
should be removed using a mop that absorbs the
remaining fluid left on the floor.
Fogging: As a general rule do not perform
disinfectant fogging for air and surface disinfection for
general infection control in routine patient-care areas
?
16
23. Cleaning spills
Small spills:
disinfect with disposable absorbent material (e.g.,
disposal clothes) soaked in disinfectant cleaning
solution and clean.
Large spills:
First remove the visible organic matter with
absorbent material, e.g., disposable towel or paper,
and discard into an appropriate leak-proof bin then
disinfect with 1%-5% sodium hypochlorite
disinfectant. Mop and clean the area and allow to
air-dry.
24. Cleaning spills
Clean up spills of potentially infectious
materials immediately. Besides preventing the
spread of infections, prompt removal also
prevents accidents.
Staff who are cleaning up spills must wear
appropriate protective clothing.
25. Spill management
Nature of the spill, e.g. blood, urine, faeces
Possible pathogens that may be involved
Size of the spill, e.g., spot, splash, puddle,
large spill
Type of surface involved, e.g., linoleum, carpet
Area involved, e.g., preparatory laboratory,
teaching areas, common access areas, etc.
Likelihood of bare skin contact with the soiled
area
27. Cleaning spills
Large spills of cultures – flood with
disinfectant (e.g. 0.5% chlorine solution or
available stock strength of chlorine), clean and
apply fresh disinfectant, clean and allow to air
dry.
Note: A suggested technique when flooding
the spill with germicide is to lay absorbent
material down on the spill and apply sufficient
germicide to thoroughly wet both the spill and
the absorbent material.
28. How to clean used cleaning
equipment
Mob, mop bucket and brush
Empty mop buckets or container, decontaminate and
clean, rinse and air-dry.
Ensure to wipe brush handles and cleaning carts (if
used) by wiping with disinfectant cleaning solution,
then wide down with a new cloth soaked in soapy
water, rinse and air-dry.
18
29. How to clean used cleaning
equipment
Dusters, etc
Soak in 0.05% chlorine solution, wash and air-dry
Curtains, screens, etc.
All health facilities should have schedule for
changing and washing curtains, screens, etc
18
30. Cleaning surgical settings
(General guidelines)
Wear scrub suit
Cleaning must NOT be conducted in the presence of
any open sterile packs or sterile instruments
Use clean, lint-free cloth moistened with disinfectant
cleaning solution
Clean after each surgical or invasive procedure and
do terminal cleaning at the end of each day and
each 24-hour period during the regular work week.
31. Terminal cleaning/ Cleaning after
discharge
This is the process used to clean a patient’s
room
after the patient has been discharged or
transferred
for patient treatment areas including
operation theaters at the end of the day.
34. Terminal cleaning/ Cleaning after
discharge
Disinfect beds, lockers and cupboards, etc with low-
level disinfectant e.g. Cetrimide
Change all linen
Disinfect plastic covering of pillows and mattresses
and air-dry for at least an hour before the next
admission.
All mattresses and pillows must have plastic
covering.
35. Fumigation
Fumigation does not reduce contamination in
your facility and should not be used. They are
just time consuming, waste valuable
resources and do not decrease the risk of
infection in the facility.
Formaldehyde have no scientific basis.
Besides being ineffective, these agents are
toxic and irritating to the eyes and mucous
membranes.
36. Monitoring cleaning
Common methods
Physical examination of absence of dirt, debris and
stains on surfaces
Collecting environmental cultures to test for
microorganisms on different surface
38. Summary
Globally, there has been an increased interest in the
role the environment plays in the transmission of
infections.
Cleaning is a process of maintaining a clean,
healthy, and pleasing patient and work environment
and involves sweeping, mopping, dusting and
scrubbing.
Disinfectant cleaning solution should be used for
patient care areas while detergent and water could
29
be used for non-patient care areas
39. Summary
Appropriate use of PPEs in imperative
In order to be effective, the cleaning staff must be
well trained on the appropriate cleaning methods
Fumigation for the purposes of IPC is not
recommended.
