Infection: Don't Pass It On

About This Website

Infection: Don’t Pass It On is a VA public health campaign designed to enlist patients, families, visitors and staff in preventing transmission of infections. The primary focus of the campaign is cleaning of hands and covering of coughs, basic public health measures that make a large difference in reducing the spread of infection both within and outside of VA health care facilities. To help VA staff promote these measures widely, several VA offices and other VA experts have planned this multi-step educational campaign.
