As a health service, getting vaccinated against the flu remains a critically important service for your staff and the risk to your staff and our nurse at a flu vaccination clinic is low provided we all follow the precautions advised by health experts, including the following recommendations:
- Consider holding clinics in larger areas to observe social/physical distancing;
- Where possible, have separate areas or walk-through options. For example, people enter in one door and exit out another;
- Encourage hand washing, or using hand sanitiser provided before entering and exiting the premises;
- Encourage staff to waer masks;
- Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces regularly, such as door and cupboard handles, lift buttons, phones, light switches, etc.;
- People should not attend the clinic if they have any symptoms of a respiratory infection; and
- Consider having larger waiting areas with seats that are spaced to ensure social/physical distancing measures are adhered to.
