Standard IC.02.04.01 Influenza Vaccination Myths and Realities: Myth 4. Our staff stays at home if they are sick - so vaccination is not necessary. 5. There is no evidence to support that influenza vaccination of staff improves patient outcomes. 6. Influenza vaccinations for staff will be too costly. Reality Since unvaccinated individuals are contagious at least one day before any signs or symptoms of influenza appear, they can still shed the virus and infect patients and other staff. Influenza transmission and outbreaks in health care organizations have been recognized for many years and have been associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and costs. The cost savings associated with health care personnel influenza vaccination programs generally outweigh the costs associated with providing the vaccine, and vaccinating ultimately results in a safer environment for patients. 40 © Copyright, The Joint Commission
