Immunizations of Hospital Health Care Workers

2010 marked the beginning of a four-year campaign by the Kansas Healthcare Collaborative* to increase the number of hospital health care workers receiving yearly influenza vaccinations as part of the effort to decrease health care associated infections.This effort to reduce the spread of influenza and to protect the health of both patients and health care workers recommended that all health care workers, including medical staff, receive the seasonal influenza vaccine.

KHC established a statewide goal to increase the Kansas hospital health care worker seasonal influenza immunization rate to 100 percent by 2014. Kansas hospitals continue to make progress towards this goal. In a survey conducted in 2011, results indicated that 78 percent of hospital health care workers, including medical staff, were vaccinated against seasonal influenza for the 2010-2011 flu season.
