• Health care worker (HCW) Influenza vaccination is sub-optimal.
– Less than 65% of HCWs get vaccinated annually.1
• HCWs who are clinically or sub-clinically infected can transmit Influenza virus to other persons.2
• Low rates of HCW vaccination have been linked to hospital Influenza outbreaks.2

• The highest percentage of people utilizing healthcare services are 65-84 years old.
• That is; the highest percentage of people coming in contact with HCWs, are 65-84 years old.
– HCWs are at risk for contracting Influenza from, and spreading Influenza to this vulnerable population.
• The highest distribution of mortality from Influenza-associated illness is in people ≥ 65 years old.
– Un-vaccinated HCWs can spread Influenza to patients and contribute to increased mortality.

• High levels of HCW vaccination could have an impact on cost savings related to reduction of Medicare spending on respiratory conditions.

Of the 221 Pa. nursing homes (NH) that responded to the survey:
•18 Pa. NHs have mandatory annual HCW vaccination programs in place.
Does a high level of HCW vaccination make a tangible difference in the reduction of respiratory tract infection and Influenza related illness (RTI/ILI) in Pa. nursing homes?

• There is a statistically significant decrease in combined seasonal RTI/ILI rates in Pa. NHs that mandate HCW vaccination.5
• A review of the NH Influenza data derived from the PA-PSRS annual survey will be available in an upcoming issue of The Pennsylvania Patient Safety Advisory.

• Mandatory HCW vaccination programs in Pa. NHs have shown a 21.1% decrease in combined seasonal RTI/ILI infection rates.5
• Crude patient mortality rates were 42% lower in facilities with higher staff vaccination rates.2
• Reducing transmission of Influenza from HCW to patients may reduce Influenza related patient deaths.2
• Protection of patients and HCWs through vaccination for Influenza may decrease Medicare spending on respiratory illness.
