Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Releases Flu Season Information

 

Houston, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/18/2015 -- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) aims to control and prevent diseases, injuries and disabilities. As the nation enters the flu season, considered to start at the beginning of October and last until the end of May, they have come out with additional information on what causes the flu season and how individuals can minimize their risk of infection. While it's impossible to predict the specifics of what a flu season will be like and what kinds of viruses will circulate during it, the CDC does give educated estimates that, for example, flu vaccines are based on.

While vaccination is the primary method of flu prevention recommended by the CDC for individuals, as far as facilities like hospitals go, the flu season is an excellent reminder on the importance of infection control. ImageFIRST Houston wants to work together with their clientele on infection prevention to create a safe working environment for hospital employees as well as improve patient welfare through reduced readmission rates.
