Transmission of influenza among health care workers is a well-documented problem. Influenza vaccination is an effective intervention to reduce the influenza burden; however, vaccination rates remain low among health care workers. The challenge for occupational health nurses is how to increase health care workers' vaccination rates. This article describes the key components of a successful influenza program at a large integrated health care system. A multidisciplinary team developed and implemented an evidence-based, leadership-modeled program that led to improvement in health care workers' vaccination rates from 66% to 77% in year one and from 77% to 84% in year two.

The Media

The Director's Forum series is written and edited by Robert J. Weber and Scott M. Mark and is designed to guide pharmacy leaders in establishing patient-centered services in hospitals and health systems. During the autumn months, health care professions and the media will advocate for immunizing all patients to prevent the occurrence and spread of influenza. A potential source of influenza in hospitalized patients is health care workers (HCWs) who have not been vaccinated. Pharmacists have long served as vaccine immunizers, advocates, and educators and may play an active role in improving vaccination rates among HCWs. Pharmacy directors should consider their department's role in influenza vaccination by becoming active partners in influenza prevention. By actively participating in making vaccines available in a variety of ways to HCWs, pharmacy directors can maximize the benefits of a hospital's employee vaccination program.
