Influenza immunization program in long term care facilities

Can J Infect Control. 1992 Spring;7(1):13-5.

Abstract

Infection control, nursing and occupational health at St Mary's Hospital and Marian Villa Home for the Aged collaborated to develop, present and evaluate a successful influenza immunization program for patients, residents and staff. The methods used may be applied to any health care facility for a major immunization program. The success of the program can be attributed to the enthusiastic efforts of all three departments and a dedicated task force.
