For us, the cost was the same or less for Quadravelent d/t our contract bulk purchase agreement. We will be using Quadravalent this season.

Hi Nancy,
Our facility had some skin sensitivity issues. We had the laundry service change detergents and do a double rinse instead of a single rinse. So far so good.

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Skin Sensitivity Issues to Hospital Laundered Scrubs
Our facility is having issues with staff reporting skin sensitivity related to wearing hospital laundered scrubs (mandatory for our OR areas).
Some individual managers have allowed staff to launder their scrubs at home and carry them in a bag to their work area, to change into them once they arrive to their work area. Our Infection Prevention department has issues with the bacterial burden that remains on items laundered at home and want to create a new process.
How do other facilities handle these staff issues?
What procedures does your staff use to launder their scrubs?
Do you allow them to launder them at home and carry them in to change once they arrive to their work area?
Does anyone have their Sterile Processing department ?sterilize? the home laundered scrubs?

this may be as simple an issue as inadequacy of the rinse cycle in removing traces of the chosen detergent. Cataloguing the complaints and examining any employees complaining of skin irritation would help with leads as to possible, usually caustic, skin burns, most often in areas of close contact/friction.
In order to maintain the integrity of your infection control P&P, you might explore altering the cleaning process to look for solutions that meet both needs of infection control and personnel safety.

Has anyone switched to using all quadrivalent flu vaccine for their staff?
We have ordered trivalent for staff this year, but interested to see if other facilities feel the quadrivalent coverage is worth the cost?
