Moving the needle on nursing staff influenza vaccination in long-term care: Results of an evidence-based intervention

Vaccination rates among long-term care HCPs and their family members increased significantly and HCP absenteeism decreased after the implementation of multifaceted interventions based on an ecological model. The findings suggest that major increases in HCP vaccination can be achieved in LTCFs. More research is needed to evaluate the impact of increased HCP vaccination on the health and productivity of LTCF employees, their family members, and residents.
