NFID has championed a national initiative involving more than 20 professional groups to improve health care worker influenza immunization rates, and is pleased with the stronger CDC recommendations issued today. A key part of the recommendations are for health care facilities to develop systems to track immunization rates among health care workers and provide feedback during the influenza vaccination campaign, which will allow institutions to better manage information and in turn, increase immunization rates and improve patient safety.
