Best Question:

Should we prepare hepatitis A and tetanus vaccines in advance of the next storm in Hawaii? 

‍

Hawaii is getting hammered this month, as Tropical Storm Moke is headed its way on the heels of Hurricane Lala. While thousands are still recovering from severe flooding and power outages, more floodwaters are expected, particularly on the Big Island.

We appreciate this question, which is a bit old school. There are two main vaccinations that your team might consider to help protect employees before a major storm like a hurricane: Hepatitis A and tetanus. In both cases, flooding doesn’t actually increase the risk for either disease, though it does mean that any wounds (which are more common after disasters) are likely to be contaminated. Anyone who has had a tetanus booster (TdP or TdaP included) is protected for up to 10 years, and Hep A is generally just a two-dose vaccination to protect someone for life. 

‍

In light of the limited risk (and, realistically, limited interest in uptake), a large vaccination campaign is not necessary in advance of a storm. But offering pharmacy vouchers to those who are out of date might be a smart proactive move ahead of a storm. ZHH can support your team in distributing pharmacy vouchers that allow your team to walk into major pharmacies (like Walmart) to get a free dose if they’re interested. Let us know if we can help, and stay safe out there!
