Flu & Pneumonia Shot Reminders

A reminder from ADSA for Boarding Home and Nursing Home Administrators & Home and Community Services Providers now that flu season is almost upon us:

Nursing homes must meet federal and state requirements related to flu and pneumococcal vaccinations. Boarding homes & Home and Community Based Service providers should take every precaution for staff and residents.
