CPOs,

OPHS is soliciting ideas for raising awareness and encourage vaccination
among health care workers. Can you ask your PACs to consider ways to
increase the influenza vaccination rates. While this is required for
basic readiness for officers, we have many civilian partners who may
need to be encouraged not only in government but also in the private
sector.

Please send other ideas you have for increasing awareness in the health
community to CAPT Rosa Myers and CAPT Ray Strikas as they develop the
implementation plan for 2008-2009 to improve our rates nationally for
health care workers..

Thank you for your support!

Subject: HCW Influenza Vaccination

 

All,

 

CAPT Rosa Myers and CAPT Ray Strikas have been leading an initiative for
OPHS to increase the embarrassingly low influenza vaccination rates
amongst healthcare workers in this country.  They have successfully
launched an internal HHS initiative that seeks to increase vaccination
rates amongst HHS health care workers.  They are now beginning to
develop and implement a plan for the 2008-2009 season that raises
awareness and encourages vaccination to the broader external health care
worker community.  I ask that each of our OPHS program and regional
offices please email Rosa and Ray with ideas and strategies for
consideration to increase influenza vaccination rates (including
thinking about partners and grantees who could help spread the word to
the healthcare community.)  I know Rosa and Ray may have reached out to
all of you previously but I want to make sure we provide them with all
of our support.  Thank you.
