Let ’s Work Together to Make This Flu Season a Better One for PA/LTC Residents

Flu season is officially here, and once again I find myself surprised by the tenacity of the old (and new) myths about the flu shot. (For instance, one that recently moved into the “myth” column is that people with egg allergies shouldn’t get the flu shot.) However, unless we’re prepared to have a repeat of last year’s flu season, which was particularly brutal for the frail older adults living in nursing homes and other post-acute and long-term care settings, we need to take steps now to get ready.
