Protecting Against Flu Season – A Multi-Pronged Approach

The CDA is encouraging practice owners to maintain best practices this fall and winter to protect themselves, their patients, and their staff against the flu virus. The annual flu vaccination is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as the first and most important step in protecting against the flu and the best way to prevent or reduce the severity of the illness.

Practice owners should educate staff and patients on the importance of taking necessary precautions to protect against respiratory viruses and encourage dental team members to remain vigilant with best safety practices.
