From The Don s Desk Winter has arrived. This season is typical for temperature changes and the Flu season. I encourage all residents, their families and visitors to get their 2018 flu vaccination. I as a registered vaccination nurse can administer vaccines for the residents but all other visitors must attend their local doctors; I encourage you all to be vaccinated. Visitors to our facility will be excluded if they present with coughing and/or sneezing as this is the way infection is spread and our vulnerable residents are at extremely high risk of catching the flu. Likewise for our staff; they will be put on sick leave until coughs/ sneezes have abated. The facility is air conditioned and there is no need to open windows and doors-this action results in upsetting the air conditioning within the entire facility and thus the need to reset all areas. The best remedy for flu management is rest and plenty of fluids; keep up your intake of food and treat the symptoms as they arise. Most of our residents 87% have already received their 2018 vaccination as have our staff-94%. Please see me if you require further information on immunisations. Julianne McKenzie DON LAKEVIEW WING 2
