Goals for 2006-2007
- Increase the influenza vaccination rate of
VHA employees to 60 % within VA health care
facilities.
- Increase our rate of influenza vaccination
of veteran patients for each VA health care
facility.
- Promote consistent and proper documentation
and tracking for all influenza vaccinations.
- Promote nonvaccine methods of preventing
infection, particularly hand hygiene and
respiratory etiquette.
- Encourage the entire VA health care
community to promote and support influenza
vaccination.
Distribution
VA Staff Receiving Toolkits
These kits are being mailed to three key contact
groups in VA facilities:
- “Flu” coordinators at medical centers and
long-term care facilities
- Occupational health clinicians
- Infection control professionals
During flu season, other VA groups play important
supporting roles in our vaccination campaign. These
include prevention managers, patient educators,
education contacts, patient safety staff, and public
affairs officers, as well as facility leadership .
We encourage collaboration within VA facilities to
reach patients, employees, and volunteers from all
vantage points. The more groups who promote and
participate in flu campaign efforts, the closer VA
will be to meeting this year’s goals.
