Yearly influenza vaccination of staff and consumers has been a feature of the aged care landscape for some time, particularly in residential care settings. The COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the importance of vaccination as part of the suite of tools used to prevent and control infectious disease. Whilst vaccination against COVID-19 is mandatory for aged care workers across the country in 2022, influenza is not. In the absence of a legal instrument e.g. public health order or direction, employers are still able to require staff to be vaccinated against the ‘flu. This webinar will assist you in how to best implement an influenza vaccination policy in your organisation.
