CDC Seeks to Understand Status of Influenza Testing and Oseltamivir Shortages in Nursing Homes

Research and Data; Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF)
 

The CDC has created a brief survey to help public health officials understand if nursing homes/skilled nursing facilities have timely access to influenza testing and antiviral medications and current influenza vaccination. This survey will ask about the specific influenza testing used at facilities. Antiviral medications may be used for both treatment of a nursing home resident diagnosed with influenza, as well as given to residents who may have had exposure to someone with influenza. 

This survey is anonymous and collects only limited location, size, and affiliation information to help describe generally where additional resources may be needed. It does not indicate your facility name or address. This survey should only be completed once per facility.
