• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Influenza and COVID-19 cause considerable morbidity, including among health care personnel (HCP). For the 2024-25 respiratory virus season, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommended influenza and COVID-19 vaccination for all HCP. What is added by this report? During the 2024-25 respiratory virus season, HCP influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage rates were 76.3% and 40.2%, respectively. Among HCP whose employer offered on-site influenza and COVID-19 vaccination, coverage was higher (73.0% and 42.9%, respectively) than it was among those whose employer did not offer on-site vaccination (41.4% and 19.8%, respectively). What are the implications for public health practice? Increasing vaccination coverage by implementing workplace policies including offering on-site vaccination might increase coverage and reduce influenza- and COVID-19-related morbidity among HCP.
