Wash your hands, get your vaccines, check travel advisories, and watch what you eat and drink when you travel this holiday season.
Stay safe on your travels next week. It's a bit too late to get vaccines for next week's travels, but it's a good idea to make sure you're up to date. Keeping your hands clean is a very important way to reduce infection risks, especially while traveling. Happy #USAAW and Happy Thanksgiving!

Clinical micro has an important role in stewardship: rapid diagnostics, blood culture stewardship, specimen and reporting quality, cascade reports.
Yesterday's post was about the people in direct contact with the patient. Today's #USAAW week post is about the backbone of most of our stewardship programs: the clinical micro lab. We're all in this together. We all have a role.
In honor of #USAAW, check out SHEA's no cost, comprehensive Penicillin Allergy Management course developed in consultation with CDC and American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
