Les progrès de la couverture vaccinale
Couverture :
Dans ce numéro, Colin Stevenson et ses collaborateurs évaluent les progrès de la couverture vaccinale et de la gestion des flambées de grippe dans les établissements de soins de longue durée du Canada (page 1413), tandis que Margaret Russell examine la situation qui prévaut dans les foyers de soins infirmiers en Alberta (page 1423). Pour leur part, Elizabeth Rea et Ross Upshur abordent les raisons pour lesquelles beaucoup de prestateurs de soins de santé ne se font pas vacciner (page 1447).
