The importance of influenza vaccination for nurses and midwives

The importance of influenza vaccination for nurses and midwives: This open letter to nurses and midwives stresses the vital role that
nurses and midwives can play in ensuring that frontline staff are
vaccinated. It has been estimated that up to 1 in 4 healthcare workers
may become infected with influenza during a mild influenza season; staff
who have the vaccination will reduce the risk of passing on the virus
to vulnerable pregnant women.
