Flu season is upon us, along with thousands of other cold and cough viruses affecting respiratory health. According to the CDC, between October 2023 and June 2024 there were 72,000 influenza related deaths in the United States.
Healthcare workers, especially paramedics and ER staff on the front lines of patient triage are repeatedly exposed to and contracting these viruses from their patients. When our emergency healthcare workers become infected, they stay home, meaning missed workdays, under-staffing at work, or EMS workers present but recovering or not able to perform at their best capabilities.
