Anxiety over the new H1N1 flu may have eased during the summer, but the federal government has reminded us that seasonal and H1N1 flu may again command concern with the coming of fall. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, anticipating a spread of the H1N1 flu, has released new guidelines (available at here) to help businesses and employers prepare now for the impact seasonal and H1N1 flu could have on employers, employees and operations.
The CDC warns, “The severity of illness that 2009 H1N1 influenza flu will cause (including hospitalizations and deaths) or the amount of illness that may occur as a result of seasonal influenza during the 2009–2010 influenza season cannot be predicted with a high degree of certainty. Therefore, employers should plan to be able to respond in a flexible way to varying levels of severity and be prepared to refine their pandemic influenza response plans if a potentially more serious outbreak of influenza evolves during the fall and winter.” Learn about the guidelines here.
