CDC: Flu Vaccination Rates for Hospital Workers Rising
The proportion of hospital workers receiving seasonal flu vaccinations increased from 77.8% in November 2011 to 83.4% this November, according to a new CDC survey. The agency set a goal for 90% of all health care workers to receive vaccinations by 2020, which has prompted some providers to mandate the vaccine for their employees.
