Advice for Health-Care Workers
Getting vaccinated will be your best defense, since health-care workers will most likely be in contact with people who are sick with 2009 H1N1. In most cases, health officials do not recommend masks, suggesting instead that you maintain a distance of six feet from those who are ill. In cases where closer care is required, clinicians may consider using a respirator mask that filters out viruses circulating in the air.
