Nothern Health Implements Flu Policy

Dec 1, 2017 | 11:12 AM

Northern Health is implementing a flu prevention campaign at its facilities.
As of today,  visitors who have not had a flu shot are being asked to wear surgical masks,  to prevent the spread of the flu and protect already vulnerable patients from a potentially fatal infection.  Doctors, staff, students and volunteers are also required to get immunized or wear a mask in patient care areas during the flu season. Flu shots are also free for anyone visiting any Northern Health facility, including people who are accompanying patients to their appointments.
