* Each facility reported summary influenza vaccination data among HCP working in the facility for ≥1 day during October 1, 2022–March 31, 2023. Up-to-date COVID-19 vaccination coverage was reported to National Healthcare Safety Network each week; data from the week ending March 26, 2023, or the last submitted week of data, were used for analysis.
† Facility size was calculated separately for acute care hospitals and nursing homes and was based on the tertile distribution of the total number of staff members per facility.
