Influenza Phone Triage

I know that you have probably been overwhelmed with influenza tips and suggestions, but someone sent us a link to a telephone triage that we thought we would share. The triage is through the American Academy of Family Physicians and many of our members have found it helpful. We have also attached a few others that members have recommended recently.
