OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the outcome of free influenza vaccination for healthcare workers in Taiwan.
METHOD
A retrospective observational study was conducted in a partially vaccinated sample of healthcare workers in a medical centre in the southern part of Taiwan. A convenience sample of 500 employees received a questionnaire.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE
Incidence of influenza like- illness (ILI), rates of absenteeism and costs savings.
RESULTS
A final number of 407 returned questionnaires could be evaluated. Forty respondents were not vaccinated. The incidence of ILI was lower in the vaccinated group than the nonvaccinated group (13.6 vs. 15%). Fever was the most frequently occurring ILI. Rate of absenteeism because of ILI in the non-vaccinated employees was higher than in the group of vaccinated employees. The costs per saved lost working day was US $36.
CONCLUSION
Free influenza vaccination may cause reductions in incidence, absenteeism, and costs associated with ILI in healthcare workers in Taiwan.
目的
评估台湾医护人员免费接种流感疫苗的效果。
方法
在台湾南部一家医疗中心对部分接种疫苗的医护人员样本进行回顾性观察研究。对500名员工进行便利抽样问卷调查。
主要观察指标
流感样疾病（ILI）发病率、缺勤率和成本节约情况。
结果
最终可评估407份返回的问卷。40名受访者未接种疫苗。接种组的ILI发病率低于未接种组（13.6%对15%）。发热是最常见的ILI症状。未接种疫苗的员工因ILI导致的缺勤率高于接种疫苗的员工组。每个节省的工作日成本为36美元。
结论
免费接种流感疫苗可能会降低台湾医护人员ILI的发病率、缺勤率及相关成本。
