Annual seasonal influenza vaccine is recommended for all health care workers (HCWs) in Ireland. For the 2011/2012 influenza season, information was collected on influenza vaccination uptake among HCWs employed in Health Service Executive (HSE)-funded hospitals (primarily acute) and of nursing homes (NHs) and also among NH long-term and short-term respite care residents. Forty-five hospitals (80%) and 120 NHs (75%) provided uptake data. Nationally, influenza vaccine uptake among hospital employed HCWs was estimated to be 18% and 14% among HCWs in NHs; in NHs vaccine uptake among long-term care residents was estimated to 88%. These findings highlight the continued low uptake among HCWs of all categories and demonstrate the need for sustained measures to improve uptake rates.
爱尔兰建议所有医护人员接种年度季节性流感疫苗。在2011/2012流感季节，收集了卫生服务执行局（HSE）资助的医院（主要是急症医院）和养老院（NHs）的医护人员以及养老院长期和短期临时护理居民的流感疫苗接种情况信息。45家医院（80%）和120家养老院（75%）提供了接种数据。在全国范围内，估计医院医护人员的流感疫苗接种率为18%，养老院医护人员的接种率为14%；在养老院，长期护理居民的疫苗接种率估计为88%。这些发现凸显了各类医护人员的接种率持续偏低，并表明需要采取持续措施来提高接种率。
