Listen "Influenza, vaccinations and recruiting and retaining nurses"
Episode Synopsis
It was a very quiet influenza season last year, in part because of the public health measures and lock downs associated with COVID-19. And health officials are once again urging people to roll up their sleeves for an influenza vaccination to help keep our population safe. Janet Hazelton is the President of the Nova Scotia Nurses Union. In this conversation, she discusses the flu shot, mandatory COVID vaccinations for health care workers and the challenge of recruitment and retention. As she points out, new and nearly retired nurses are being offered incentives, while others mid-level care givers are leaving the profession.
