List,
Can I ask how your health systems handle employee exposures to influenza, pertussis etc.? Are the post-exposure prophylaxis medications covered under workers' comp or by the employees' personal insurance? What about when an employee becomes symptomatic as a result of such exposure?  Thank you in advance for your input.
