CDC Studies Health Workers in Flu Spread

In a Wednesday press briefing, Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said the role of health workers in helping spread the H1N1 flu is getting a look. "When you're thinking about risk, who comes in contact with the most individuals who are sick and have flu? Health care workers," Besser said. With the disease in the United States turning out to be mild, Besser said CDC teams are already going back in to study its spread. The agency will look at the role of health care workers in Texas, California and Mexico.
