Immunisation Uptake Statistics among health care workers
Each hospital or long term care facility reports on number of staff vaccinated with influenza vaccine for the current influenza season, the total number of staff employed during the period under review (influenza season) by staff category. Additional information is collected on the uptake of the vaccine among long term and respite residents of LTCFs. The data is currently provided twice during the influenza season (mid-season and end of season).
HPSC collates the data and produces a mid-season/provisional and end of season reports which are available on the HPSC website.
**Purpose:** In scope: To provide data on influenza vaccine uptake among health care workers (HCWs) working in Irish hospitals and long-term care facilities (LTCFs).
**Coverage:** National.
Annual surveys to date have been conducted during the official flu season with a request issued for provisional data in early November for mid-December and again in late February for mid-March.
