The swine flu vaccine was approved for release by the FDA. It will be about 4 weeks before you are able to be vaccinated. In the meantime, you may have a number of questions regarding the vaccine and its safety. It is important to be educated about the virus and vaccine before making a decision regarding whether you should be vaccinated. By being educated you can protect yourself and others, including family members or coworkers.

The first thing you should do is view the websites of the FDA & CDC. They include a number of links and answers to many of the questions you may have regarding the vaccine. Another great resource is flu.gov, which is a site maintained by the United Department of Health and Human Services. There is also a wealth of information on non-government websites and there several worthwhile free webinars available. One such webinar is being facilitated by Emilcott, and more information can be found here.

Topics: H&S Training, Occupational Health, Webinar, emergency response training, Occupational Training, Safety Training in Spanish, Swine Flu
