ASHP Flu Survey Reveals Gaps in Vaccinations of Health Care Workers
Loading...
A RECENT ASHP SURVEYof 371 pharmacy directors at hospitals across the country revealed troubling questions about whether health care workers would choose to get vaccinated against H1N1 and seasonal flu (www.ashp.org/flusurvey).
Only 37 percent of respondents reported vaccination rates over 70 percent at their hospitals. “That’s too low,” said ASHP president Lynnae Mahaney, M.B.A., FASHP. “Health care workers come into contact with so many people, it is vital that they are vaccinated to minimize the risk to patients.”
ASHP advocates that all health care workers receive an annual influenza vaccination.
The society’s online resources (www.youcanstoptheflu.com) provide a wealth of information for health care workers on flu prevention and treatment. Pharmacists can find resources and information about H1N1 at www.ashp.org/H1N1.
