California Hospital Association quashes nurse warnings over H1N1 for Halloween walk-out

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 20 -- The California Hospital
Association (CHA) is engaged with hospitals and state and local public health
officials in a voluntary statewide effort to ensure that all hospital workers
-- including registered nurses -- are vaccinated against the H1N1 flu virus.


"Hospital caregivers are on the front lines in responding to the H1N1
pandemic," said CHA President and CEO C. Duane Dauner. "Although no one yet
knows how rapidly the H1N1 flu may spread or how serious the illness may
become, it's essential that the nurses and other clinicians who work in our
community hospitals be given the highest level of protection possible against
the virus so that they can continue caring for patients. The best protection
against the H1N1 flu is to be vaccinated."


The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that
"vaccines are the most important tool we have for preventing influenza."
Based on this expert advice, Dauner urges the California Nurses Association to
join with CHA and state and public health officials to promote vaccinations to
all health care workers. Additionally, hospitals and nurses should work
together in a public education campaign aimed at helping to stop the spread of
the disease.
