Aetna can help educate your employees about flu prevention and risk. We have placed educational information about the avian flu on our "Members and Consumers" page and have developed an online training course. We invite you to refer your employees to these valuable resources in your own internal communications vehicles.

This material addresses the differences between seasonal flu and avian flu, as well as risk-prevention tips and treatment options associated with avian flu. It also includes additional precautions that should be taken by employees traveling in areas where avian flu has affected bird populations, such as Southeast Asia. We will continue to add or update information as it becomes available.

We hope this information will help encourage your employees to take prudent precautions against respiratory illnesses of all kinds - leading to a healthier, more productive workforce even in the absence of a pandemic flu outbreak.
