Acute Care Hospital Healthcare Personnel Influenza Vaccination
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all persons six months of age and older, including healthcare personnel (HCP) and persons in training for healthcare professions, should be vaccinated annually against influenza.
Vaccination of working-age adults, including HCP, has been associated with reduced risk of influenza illness, and reduced work absenteeism, antibiotic use, and medical visits. In addition, influenza vaccination of HCP has reduced deaths among nursing home residents, and elderly hospitalized patients.
