Flu Shot Uptake Among Oregon Healthcare Workers Drops

Oregon's healthcare workers show a worrying drop in flu shot uptake since the COVID-19 pandemic, with a 36% decrease compared to the 2019-2020 season. Dr. Dat Tran, medical director of OHA’s Healthcare-Associated Infections Program, expresses concern as flu activity returns to pre-pandemic levels. Hospitals and nursing homes have the highest vaccination rates at 60%, while dialysis centers and inpatient psychiatric facilities lag at around 30%. The Oregon Health Authority stresses the importance of higher vaccination rates for patient and staff protection, reduced absenteeism, and lower healthcare costs.
