Impact of daily prompt to vaccinate inpatients awaiting rehabilitation against SARS-CoV-2 and influenza
A daily prompt to offer vaccination to inpatients awaiting transfer to rehabilitation resulted in increased SARS-CoV-2 (OR 5.64, 95% CI 3.3-10.15; <i>P</i> < 0.001) and influenza (OR 3.80, 95% CI 2.45-6.06; <i>P</i> < 0.001) vaccination. Compared to baseline, this intervention was associated with reduced incidence of viral respiratory infection during subsequent admission to rehabilitation.
