The hospital created a record by providing out-patient and emergency services to 16,171 people on December 30.
Between January 1 and 7, the number of people visiting its out-patient and emergency services was up 37.7 percent on last year, while pediatric services at the hospital saw a 48 percent increase. That's a lot of people for one city even if its a big city. Link below http://www.shanghaidaily.com/Metro/health-and-science/H1N1-swine-flu-among-big-rise-in-winter-bugs/shdaily.shtml |

WE ARE OUT OF VACCINE
Spent most of the day trying to get the jab. Apparently the few doses left are being held for HCW. Now if we can only get them to do it...Not holding my breath. HCW immunization rates here have been dismal. Less than 40% in many Health Districts here. A bloody disgrace in my opinion. When you are working with an immuno-compromised population (ie. already sick people in hospital/long term senior facility), you should be responsible enough to make sure you aren't making a bad situation much worse for the patient, (regardless of why the person is in your care in the first place) by infecting them with a virus that could cost them their lives. |
