Abstract

Influenza vaccination for healthcare workers who care for people aged 60 or older living in long-term care institutions.

Effectiveness of Influenza-Prevention Interventions among Healthcare Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Health Outcomes

“…1426 vs. 9507 participants) and the fact that they compared influenza vaccination with meningococcal or pneumococcal vaccination, as in the study by Wilde et al, are the main reasons for this contradiction. On the other hand, our results support the findings of Thomas RE et al who found no evidence of the benefit of vaccinating healthcare workers for laboratory-confirmed influenza or its complications in people over 60 living in care facilities (14). Although this is a different population group, they represent a high-risk group for infection in a similar setting.…”

Influenza Vaccination of Healthcare Workers: Critical Analysis of the Evidence for Patient Benefit Underpinning Policies of Enforcement

“…Through Medline search, we confirmed that the US CDC (published 2014 [ 15 ]) and Cochrane (published 2010 [ 16 ], 2013 [ 17 ] and 2016 [ 18 ]) reviews captured all RCTs that specifically assessed indirect patient benefit through HCW influenza vaccination. In the four identified cRCTs, multiple patient outcomes were assessed, ranging from most-to-least specific for influenza (e.g.…”
