According to the New York State Department of Health:
Making sure health care personnel (HCP) receive annual influenza vaccinations will protect your staff and patients, and reduce disease burden and health-care costs, yet vaccination coverage among HCP remains low, only about 50%. Influenza vaccination of HCP has been proven to lead to:
- Reductions in HCP illness and absenteeism
HCP who receive influenza vaccine report approximately 30% fewer influenza-like illnesses and use 30-50% fewer sick days.- Reductions in health care-acquired influenza
Up to 25% of HCP contract influenza each season.
HCP can transmit influenza to their patients even before they know they are sick. All individuals infected with influenza are contagious for at least one day before symptoms develop.- Improved patient outcomes
Residents in nursing homes with high HCP vaccination levels have greater than 40% reduction in overall mortality.- Cost savings
Influenza vaccination has been estimated to save $13.66 per person vaccinated annually.
The cost of promoting and delivering vaccinations to HCP is lower than the costs associated with influenza illness.
