[MCOH-EH] Influenza exposure-Re: MCOH-EH Digest, Vol 253, Issue 30

[Cindy M. Hansen]

1). With so much flu in the community how can you really know where the exposure occurred.
2). If appropriate PPE used then no exposure.
3). We do not prophylactic treat for flu only unprotected exposure to meningitis.
