Healthcare Professionals is a provider of nurse

healthcare staffing due to the developments in the flu virus strain. Express

contract jobs throughout Portland and the United States which has helped them

Some new
studies have emerged that suggest 2018 will possibly be one of the most severe
flu seasons that has been on record. The Center for Disease Control health
officials has already warned that this year’s flu vaccine may only be 10%
effective. According to the Center for Disease Control, there have been more
than 7,000 cases of influenza confirmed within the United States, which is more
than double the number this time last year.
Experts are
recommending that you should still get the flu shot as a preventative measure
as it does provide protection against several strains of the virus. Nursing agencies in Portland, OR,
anticipate a busy new year, but they are serious about taking the
responsibility they have to their local community. The Portland travel nursing
agency wants people to understand that even though the flu shot is only
slightly effective, that it is still important to receive the vaccine.

Healthcare gladly helps provide nurse staffing in Portland, OR, to the local
area as well as nationwide. With the flu vaccine not being as effective, many
hospitals may need more nurses for nursing
jobs in Portland because of the increase in patients or nurses who have the
flu. The nurse agency in Portland, OR,
will help as much as possible this flu season with healthcare staffing needs.
