Vaccine was made available
to all employees on a no cost
basis earlier this month. The
vaccine has proven effective
in the past three years and is
being improved each year. It
now protects against a larger
number of influenza virus
strains than ever before.
It is difficult to accurately
evaluate the effectiveness of
the vaccine due to the multiplicity
of virus and the lack
of an exacting definition of
influenza; however, our doctors
