Community Vaccinators in the Workplace

摘要

To the Editor: Adult vaccination rates are low (1), and workplaces are a useful location for increasing vaccination (2). In 2008, only 41% of US workers 50–64 years of age reported vaccination against in. uenza virus (3). Workplace vaccination is common and increases with employer size (4). Among adults, the workplace is the most common site for in. uenza vaccination for persons 18–49 years of age and second most common for persons 50–64 years (2). Offering vaccination in the workplace increases vaccination coverage (5).
