Risk groups and other target groups - preliminary ECDC guidance for developing influenza vaccination recommendations
1European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, Stockholm, Sweden. Hanne.Nokelby@ecdc.europa.eu
Abstract:
Providing guidance on risk and target groups for seasonal influenza immunisation is difficult for the 2010-11 season since there is no experience with the new influenza A(H1N1) virus in its seasonal form. Arguments exist for offering immunisation to people with chronic illness and older people, and also for other risk and target groups including pregnant women. A more rigorous approach is being developed to produce annual evidence-based guidance on risk and target groups for influenza vaccination.

Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
