FW: CDC Science Clips, Vol. 9, Issue 22, June 6, 2017 – featuring CDC Vital Signs: Legionnaires’ Disease

[Cath Murphy]

Experience shows that few ICPs understand Legionella and how to manage and prevent it. This week’s CDC Scientific Digest addresses multiple articles on Legionella and may be of interest for ACIPC members.

Regards

Yours sincerely
