In Clinical Practice — Personal Perspective

I went to work with a “cold” ...

Dawn E DeWitt
MJA 2008; 189 (2): 91-92

Iwent to work with a cold. My nasty sore throat woke me early, so I spent the time emailing our incoming clinical students:

Get your influenza vaccinations before you start your clinical rotations — influenza kills people, vaccinating health care workers decreases mortality in nursing homes, and vaccination reduces other viral infections and days off work or school, and meets duty of care for oneself and others!1,2

Sincerely, your (vaccinated) Clinical Dean
