The operator of a Latrobe aged care home where six residents died during last year’s horror flu outbreak says it expects all its staff to get flu vaccinations unless there is a medical reason not to. Uniting AgeWell, which operates Strathdevon at Latrobe, said it had implemented an enhanced flu vaccination and infection control program to ensure all its aged care communities were well prepared for the flu season. Uniting AgeWell chief executive Andrew Kinnersly said immunisation clinics would be held in April and May to ensure employees had easy access to free vaccinations.
