Since the 2009 flu pandemic, questions have been raised about the risk for flu to health care workers. But what about other workers? Does having a job put a person at risk for flu? And does the type of job influence this risk? According to a CDC study, having a job is actually associated with a lower risk for hospitalization for flu, possibly because workers are generally young and healthy. But among workers who are hospitalized for flu, certain industries of employment were more common than others. Not surprisingly, the industry posing the highest risk was health care. Others included transportation and warehousing, administrative and support services, waste management and remediation services, and accommodation and food services. In the event of another pandemic, this information can be used to prioritize who should receive vaccine and to decide who needs personal protective equipment like face masks or respirators.
Autopsy findings, clinical history, and diagnostic tools can aid surveillance and investigation of infectious diseases.
