    Health Care Personnel Influenza Vaccination

    Metadata Updated: August 23, 2025

    Health and Safety Code section 1288.7(a) requires California acute care hospitals to offer influenza vaccine free of charge to all healthcare providers (HCP) or sign a declination form if a HCP chooses not to be vaccinated. Hospitals must report HCP influenza vaccination data to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), including the percentage of HCP vaccinated. CDPH is required to make this information public on an annual basis [Health and Safety Code section 1288.8 (b)].

    California acute care hospitals are required to offer free influenza vaccine to HCP. Hospital HCP must receive an annual vaccine or sign a declination form. Hospitals collect vaccination data for all HCP physically working in the hospital for at least one day during influenza season, regardless of clinical responsibility or patient contact. Hospitals report HCP vaccination rates to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) and CDPH publishes the hospital results annually. CDPH reports data separately for hospital employees, licensed independent practitioners such as physicians, other contract staff, and trainees and volunteers (Health and Safety Code section 1288.7-1288.8).

    Detailed information about the variables included in each dataset are described in the accompanying data dictionaries for the year of interest.
