Assisted Living and the Flu – It Ain′t Over Till it′s Over

By now the current influenza season is well defined and taking hold in many of our assisted living communities. How much do you really know about the flu? I thought I knew a lot about the flu until I attended a meeting of The Gerontological Society of America (GSA) in May of this year. As a representative of the National Board of Directors of AALNA I was asked to present to a room full of amazing, brilliant professionals from all over the US who know their flu inside out and upside down. What they did not know was about how we do things in AL when it comes to immunizations in general and particularly flu vaccinations.
