CDC releases report on flu, COVID-19 vaccination coverage for health care workers for 2024-25 respiratory seasonĀ
Flu and COVID-19 vaccination rates among all health care workers for the 2024-25 respiratory virus season was 76.3% and 40.2%, respectively, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released April 2. Coverage was higher for personnel whose employers offered on-site flu and COVID-19 vaccinations, at 73% and 42.9%. Lower figures were found among personnel with employers that did not offer on-site vaccinations, at 41.4% and 19.8%. The CDC said that increasing vaccination coverage by implementing workplace policies, including offering on-site vaccinations, could increase coverage and reduce flu- and COVID-19-related morbidity among health care providers.
