Although Influenza vaccination is recommended for healthcare workers, vaccination rates in UK healthcare workers are only around 50%. We investigated the association between NHS sickness absence rates (using data from Health and Social Care Information Centre quarterly reports), staff vaccination rates and influenza vaccine efficacy (from Public Health England), influenza deaths (from the Office of National Statistics) and staff satisfaction (from www.NHSstaffsurveys.com). Data from 223 healthcare trusts covered approximately 800,000 staff in each of four influenza seasons from 2011; overall staff sickness rate was roughly 4.5%. Annual vaccination rates varied between 44% and 54%. Higher NHS trust vaccination rates were associated with reduced sickness absence (β = -0.425 [95% CI -0.658 to -0.192], p<0.001). Thus, a 10% increase in vaccination rate would be associated with a 10% fall in sickness absence rate. Influenza vaccination for NHS staff is associated with reduced sickness absence rates.
虽然建议医护人员接种流感疫苗，但英国医护人员的接种率仅约为 50%。我们调查了国民保健制度（NHS）缺勤率（使用来自健康和社会保健信息中心的季度报告数据）、员工疫苗接种率以及流感疫苗效果（来自英格兰公共卫生署）、流感死亡人数（来自国家统计局）和员工满意度（来自 www.NHSstaffsurveys.com）之间的关联。2011 年四个流感季节中，来自 223 家医疗保健信托的数据覆盖了大约 80 万名员工；员工总病假率约为 4.5%。年度疫苗接种率在 44%至 54%之间变化。较高的 NHS 信托疫苗接种率与较低的病假缺勤率相关（β=-0.425 [95% CI -0.658 至 -0.192]，p<0.001）。因此，疫苗接种率增加 10%，病假缺勤率就会下降 10%。为 NHS 员工接种流感疫苗与病假缺勤率降低有关。
