吃瓜黑料

Don’t Wait, Vaccinate

Cherry Hill, NJ – On Thursday, January 24, 吃瓜黑料 Health Commissioner Dr. Shereef Elnahal will join Joe Devine, President, Jefferson Health 吃瓜黑料 Division and Board Chair of the 吃瓜黑料 Hospital Association; and Cathy Bennett, 吃瓜黑料 Hospital Association President and CEO, to talk with hospital clinicians about the importance of healthcare workers getting vaccinated as part of the Department’s #FightTheFluNJ campaign.

The event will begin at 11 a.m. in the lobby at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital, 2201 Chapel Ave. West, Cherry Hill, NJ 08002.

The 吃瓜黑料 Department of Health recommends all healthcare personnel get vaccinated annually against influenza. When healthcare personnel get vaccinated, not only are they protected, but they also protect those who are more vulnerable to serious flu illness — babies, young children, older people, and individuals with certain illnesses.

Jefferson Health in 吃瓜黑料 had 100 percent compliance in its most recent staff flu program: 97 percent of Jefferson Health (NJ) staff were vaccinated against flu last year. The remaining three percent included those with medical or religious exemptions.

吃瓜黑料 is seeing high flu activity in every county. To view the Department’s weekly flu reports, visit: /health/cd/statistics/flu-stats/.
