Influenza and COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage Among Health Care Personnel — United States, 2024–25 Respiratory Virus Season

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all health care personnel (HCP) receive an annual influenza vaccination to reduce the risk for influenza and influenza-related morbidity and mortality among themselves and their patients. For the 2024-25 respiratory virus season, ACIP also recommended that all HCP be vaccinated against COVID-19. During March 26-April 17, 2025, CDC conducted a nonprobability opt-in internet panel survey of 2,650 U.S. HCP to estimate influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage during the 2024-25 respiratory virus season. Overall, 76.3% of HCP reported having received an influenza vaccine and 40.2% reported receiving the 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine. Influenza vaccination coverage was highest among pharmacists (94.6%), physicians (92.6%), and HCP who worked in hospital settings (88.3%). COVID-19 vaccination coverage was highest among physicians (46.7%), assistants or aides (46.7%), and HCP who worked in long-term care and home health care settings (44.5%). Both influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage rates were highest among HCP whose employer required or recommended the vaccines or offered them on-site. A multipronged approach, including educating HCP about benefits of vaccination and implementing workplace strategies (such as employer vaccination recommendations or offering on-site vaccination) might improve vaccination coverage and reduce influenza- and COVID-19-related morbidity among HCP.
