* Each facility reported summary influenza vaccination data among HCP working in the facility for ≥1 day during October 1, 2023–March 31, 2024. Coverage with 2023–2024 COVID-19 vaccination was reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network each week; data from the week ending March 31, 2024, or the last submitted week of data, were used for analysis.
† 95% CIs were calculated using the mid-P method.
§ 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.
