THE POWER
TO STOP
THE FLU
BEGINS
WITH YOU
Flu Fighter will be out and about across Eastern
Health to spread the word about the importance of
flu vaccinations. Supported by a team of infection
prevention and control experts, Flu Fighters goal
is to vaccinate more than 75 per cent of staff and
volunteers.
Flu vaccination of healthcare workers has
significant benefits for staff, patients and visitors.
It has the potential to save lives, said Leanne
Houston, Associate Director of Eastern Healths
Infection Prevention & Control Service.
We are encouraging all staff to protect themselves,
their patients and their colleagues from the flu this
season by getting their vaccination.
Patients and members of the public are also
encouraged to consider being immunised against
the flu through their GP.
SUPER HERO: Human Resources Adviser Josh
Humphreys was in character during his time as
Eastern Healths Flu Fighter.
