Interim Results: Influenza A (H1N1) 2009 Monovalent and Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Health-Care Personnel — United States, August 2009–January 2010

Abstract

Since 1986, the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) have recommended all health-care personnel (HCP) be vaccinated annually for influenza. Since 1989, estimated overall influenza vaccination coverage among HCP has never exceeded 49%. This report summarizes results of a population-based survey administered via the Internet in January 2010 to 1,417 HCP to assess vaccination coverage. By mid-January 2010, estimated vaccination coverage among HCP was 37.1% for 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) and 61.9% for seasonal influenza. Overall, 64.3% received either of these influenza vaccines, but only 34.7% reported receiving both vaccines.

From report:

“…Seasonal influenza vaccination coverage was substantially higher among HCP working in hospitals (71.7%) than those working in long-term care facilities (54.0%) or other settings (48.4%) (p = 0.003 and p = 0.001, respectively). 2009 H1N1 vaccination coverage also was higher among HCP working in hospitals (50.6%) than those working in outpatient clinics (39.2%), long-term care facilities (20.1%), or other settings (33.4%) (p = 0.003, p<0.001, and p = 0.015, respectively). For both vaccine types, physicians, physician assistants, dentists, and nurses had similar vaccination levels, which were slightly higher than those for allied health professionals and nonclinical staff; however, differences between these professional groups were not statistically significant…”
