Not too late for flu shot

Western Sydney is experiencing a record level of flu this winter.

Staff, visitors and patients are reminded to be alert for flu-like symptoms.

• If you are suffering from the flu, stay home from work for at least three days (if being treated with Tamiflu) or seven days if untreated
• Visitors should also refrain from visiting the hospital if they have flu symptoms
• All people should practice good hand hygiene and cough etiquette

Staff, visitors and patients are encouraged to receive the flu vaccination if they are currently well.

Remember: once administered, the vaccination takes two weeks to be effective.
