Abstract

Purpose of review: We reviewed the benefit of influenza vaccination in healthcare personnel (HCP), rates of vaccine coverage, and practices used to try to boost vaccine coverage among HCP.

Recent findings: Influenza vaccination in HCP provides benefits to both HCP and patients, including reductions in patient morbidity and mortality and decreases in HCP absenteeism. Despite these benefits, influenza vaccine coverage among HCP still falls short of the Healthy People 2020 goal of 90%. As a result, healthcare institutions have used various practices to boost vaccination, including mandatory vaccine policies and requiring non-immunized HCP to wear masks during the influenza season. All of these efforts have been successful at increasing vaccination rates, and employer vaccination requirements have led to rates that meet the Healthy People 2020 goal. Rates of mandatory vaccine policies have increased over time, and several states now have influenza vaccine requirements. However, additional study into how these policies improve patient outcomes is needed.

Summary: Continued effort is needed to boost influenza vaccination rates among HCP, and mandatory vaccine policies may be used if other methods have not been effective in adequately raising vaccination rates. Future research should focus on how mandatory vaccine policies can improve patient outcomes.

流感疫苗接种和医护人员的依从性。
综述的目的:我们回顾了卫生保健人员(HCP)接种流感疫苗的益处、疫苗覆盖率以及试图提高HCP疫苗覆盖率的做法。最近发现:HCP患者接种流感疫苗对HCP和患者都有好处,包括患者发病率和死亡率的降低以及HCP缺勤率的降低。尽管有这些好处,HCP的流感疫苗覆盖率仍然低于健康人2020年90%的目标。因此,卫生保健机构采用了各种做法来加强疫苗接种,包括强制性疫苗政策和要求未接种疫苗的HCP在流感季节戴口罩。所有这些努力都成功地提高了疫苗接种率,雇主的疫苗接种要求使接种率达到了“健康人2020”目标。随着时间的推移,强制性疫苗政策的比率有所增加,一些州现在有流感疫苗的要求。然而,需要进一步研究这些政策如何改善患者的预后。总结:需要继续努力提高HCP人群的流感疫苗接种率,如果其他方法未能有效提高疫苗接种率,可采用强制性疫苗政策。未来的研究应侧重于强制性疫苗政策如何改善患者的预后。
