Influenza Immunization Among Health Care Personnel - Call to Action

A new Call to Action encouraging health care personnel (HCP) to receive annual influenza vaccination has been issued by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases (NFID). This new report cites Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data revealing that 58 percent of HCP have not received their annual flu vaccine.

The Call to Action also includes key steps that health care institutions can take to ensure that their workers are vaccinated against influenza. Click below to access the report, which highlights key insights on the current HCP environment.

NFID plans to use this Call to Action as a key resource in educating HCP about the effects of influenza and alerting them to the actions they can take to prevent themselves, employees and their patients from contracting this highly contagious infection.

NFID's Improving Influenza Vaccination Rates in Health Care Personnel initiative is made possible by an unrestricted educational grant to NFID from sanofi pasteur.
