Slide 3: Flu Vaccination Requirements
•	In order to protect long-term care residents and other vulnerable populations from a potentially deadly flu season, DPH has revised flu vaccination requirements for staff in the following locations:
o	Nursing Homes
o	Rest Homes
o	Assisted Living Residences
o	Adult Day Health Programs
o	Out-of Hospital Dialysis Units
