CDC - Seasonal Influenza (Flu) in the Workplace - NIOSH Workplace Safety and Health Topic



SEASONAL INFLUENZA (FLU) IN THE WORKPLACE
The 2010-2011 Influenza Season




The 2010–2011 influenza season is ongoing, and thus far the influenza viruses identified to be causing illness in the U.S. include influenza B viruses and influenza A viruses such as H3N2 and the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus. As part of a strategic approach to fighting influenza, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend that everyone over 6 months of age get a flu vaccine, as the cornerstone of influenza prevention and a important part of a strategic approach to fighting influenza. The 2010-2011 vaccine will protect against three different flu viruses: an influenza B virus, an H3N2 virus, and the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus that caused so much illness last season.

NIOSH Workplace Seasonal Influenza Resources

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) works with its CDC colleagues and other partners to conduct research and make recommendations to minimize work-related risks of catching influenza. Throughout influenza season, this NIOSH topic page on influenza will be updated and expanded to include a variety of resources for employers, workers, occupational health professionals, and other partners.
