Education & Awareness Video: Encouraging healthcare workers to get the flu vaccine

Healthcare workers are up to 10 times more likely to get the flu than the general population. Healthy people can have the flu without any obvious symptoms, however they can transmit the virus and pass it on, causing illness.
