Evidence-Based Practice |
| Description |
Interventions to promote influenza vaccination among workers can include making vaccines available to workers and announcing this availability in work settings, using things such as newsletters, e-mails, or paycheck inserts. These interventions attempt to correct myths, to reduce the financial cost, or to change worksite norms regarding vaccination.
Vaccines may be offered:
• On-site or off-site
• At cost, reduced cost, or no cost
• With health education and mobile units
• In clinics
• At multiple locations
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends interventions with on-site, reduced cost, and actively promoted influenza vaccinations, when implemented alone or as part of a multicomponent intervention, based on sufficient evidence of their effectiveness in increasing influenza vaccination coverage among workers in worksites. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
Results from the Systematic Reviews:
Five studies with six total study arms (intervention comparisons) qualified for the review and examined changes in vaccination coverage or worker productivity.
• Evaluated interventions showed median increases in vaccination coverage of:
- 21 percentage points (2 study arms with comparison groups)
- 38 percentage points (4 studies with no comparison group)
• Studies evaluated interventions with reduced cost, on-site, actively promoted influenza vaccinations alone and when combined with additional interventions, including provision of information, efforts to enhance access, activities to change attitudes and norms, and policy changes.
• Studies evaluated interventions conducted in large worksites (more than 500 workers).
• Most studies were conducted in the United States, and one study was conducted in the Philippines. |
