Henry Schein donated 1,300 doses of flu vaccine for dental team members who participated in the Health Screening Program at the ADA annual session in Las Vegas this week.
"By receiving this vaccination, dental team members not only protect their own personal health but also the health of their patients, families, and co-workers," stated Stanley Bergman, chairman and CEO of Henry Schein, in a press release.
Despite the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions's recommendation that all healthcare providers get an annual flu vaccine, healthcare providers remain an undervaccinated group, with fewer than half of healthcare workers reporting getting vaccinated, according to Henry Schein.
