Settings Where High-Risk Persons and Their Contacts May Be Targeted For Vaccination

Persons for whom influenza vaccine is recommended, including health-care workers and household members of high-risk persons, can be identified and vaccinated in many different settings that provide care to persons in high-risk groups:

Outpatient facilities providing ongoing care
Outpatient facilities providing episodic or acute care
Nursing homes and other residential long-term care facilities
Acute-care hospitals
Visiting nurses and others providing home care to persons at high risk
Other facilities providing services to persons aged 50 years or older
Other settings outside of medical care settings such as the workplace and shopping areas, have been used to offer influenza vaccine
