Fewer U.S. health care workers are keeping up to date on their COVID-19 and flu vaccinations, according to two separate reports this week from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
For the first study, researchers pulled data from the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) for January to June 2023.
They found that flu vaccine coverage was 81% among health care employees at hospitals and 47.1% at nursing homes.
