Two Ways to Protect Healthcare Workers from H1N1
Cheryl Clark, for HealthLeaders Media, September 4, 2009
The report was sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
In a letter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kenneth I Shine, MD, and M.E. Bonnie Rogers, chair and vice chair respectively of the Committee on Respiratory Protection for Healthcare Workers in the Workplace Against Novel H1N1 Influenza A, wrote:
"The need for research in a number of areas was striking. Due to the lack of a strong and conclusive evidence base, the committee concluded that determination of the relative contribution of each route of influenza transmission is essential for long-term preparedness planning."
