WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For most people, the flu is a temporary setback that makes them feel under the weather for a week or two. For dialysis patients with kidney failure, however, the flu is a serious health threat that can lead to pneumonia and other life-threatening complications. Beginning in October, Fresenius Medical Care North America (FMCNA), the nation’s leading network of dialysis facilities, will offer all of its patients and clinical staff an annual flu vaccine, which protects against both seasonal flu and H1N1.
