Influenza/Pneumovax Vaccine Pager Launched
The BWH Pneumonia Improvement Team, a multidisciplinary group formed in 2004 to improve the quality of care for patients admitted with pneumonia, launched the Infectious Disease Influenza/Pneumovax Vaccine Virtual pager service at beeper #16894.
This service, in effect immediately, is a resource to BWH nurses when screening or administering the influenza or pneumococcal vaccine. Members of the Infectious Disease/Infection Control Department carry the pager Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to field questions related to the vaccination process.
The pager is accessible via the internet by entering:
