Our facility requires documentation of at least one dose of Tdap as a condition of employment. If there is not documentation we provide the vaccine upon their new hire screening. This has helped us maintain well over the 95% vax rate required for USNWR.

Dear All,

 

I am wondering if you have any special programs in place to promote Pertussis (Tdap) boosters for staff working in Children's and Neonatal HCFs?

 

U.S. News and World Report encourages ranked hospitals to achieve a vaccination rate of 95% which might be impossible given that most hospitals do not mandate it.

 

If you could share your best practices about this, I would appreciate that very much.

 

Thank you.
