Flu Pandemic
 

Is anyone else having to write contingency plans for their dept/company incase of a flu pandemic this winter? The place where I work is writing contingency plans hundreds of pages long and having numerous meetings. I can't work out whether someone is seriously over-reacting or they know something we don't?!!:-$ (I work in a hospital):shaking:

Well I'd say it is over-reacting usually, but seeing as you work in a hospital, they have to be prepared for such things. If you worked in Toys 'R' Us or something I don't think that needs to ever be mentioned.

I think they're over-reacting too but they're planning for more than half of the workforce being off for upto six weeks with flu, then on top of that the hospital will have a lot more patients than usual due to the pandemic so we're shafted both ways!

Re: Flu Pandemic

Re: Flu Pandemic
 

It's because we're special!!!:cool: I'm only 25 but as I work in a hospital I can get it done anyway as I have a higher risk of getting it (or something like that)

I had a flu jab at work too.

It's because i work for the Health Protection Agency, I'm jabbed for all sorts of stuff.

I don't do anything remotely important but work offer free flu jabs so it seemed silly to not have one.
