Healthcare Personnel Safety Component: Influenza Vaccination Module

Summary

The objectives of this training are to enable use of the Influenza Modules of the Healthcare Personnel Safety Component to record information about influenza vaccinations and antiviral medication use after exposure to influenza in your facility. We will review the purposes of using the Influenza Modules; describe how to record data about influenza vaccinations and anti-viral medication use consistent with your Monthly Reporting Plan; describe the requirements for various types of data fields; and show examples of data entry.

Audience: This training is designed not only for those who will collect and analyze Healthcare Personnel Safety Component (or HPS) data, but also for those who will enroll a healthcare facility into NHSN. This includes NHSN facility administrators, the Healthcare Personnel Safety Primary contact, occupational health professionals, infection preventionists (IPs), epidemiologists, and data entry staff. The primary HPS contact is the person in your facility who has primary contact with CDC, especially regarding data entry questions. This is likely to be someone with occupational health responsibilities in your facility.
