Staff Flu Vaccinations
Staff Flu Vaccinations 2022
Have you had your flu vaccination?
The Barwon Health staff flu vaccination program is now on.
On April 11 2022 the Secretary of the Department of Health issued Directions that mandate flu vaccinations for health care workers in roles that have direct or indirect contact with blood and body substances. As a guide this means the mandate applies to most of our staff, with the exception of selected administration type roles that essentially have no contact with consumers.
However Barwon Health strongly encourages every staff member to be vaccinated as soon as you can. The best way to protect your patients, your colleagues, yourself and your loved ones is to get a flu vaccination today.
The Barwon South West Public Health Unit is delivering the flu vaccination program and the team will be vaccinating at a number of sites across Geelong.
