Thanks to those of you who have reported your healthcare worker (HCW) flu
vaccination numbers to the CDPHE. Seventy percent of Colorado licensed
healthcare facilities reported their flu data. Of those who reported, 4 out of 5
reached this year's vaccination target (60%). CONGRATULATIONS!!
For
facilities that have NOT yet reported HCW flu vaccination data, please submit
your data either through the Health Facilities Division Portal OR the National
Healthcare Safety Network by Friday, MAY 17, 2013.
Note that you only
need to submit your data in ONE of those systems. If you have any technical
questions about entering flu data in the National Healthcare Safety Network,
please contact Carolyn Elliott at 303.692.2923 or Tamara Hoxworth at
303.692.2930. For Health Facilities Division Portal Support, please contact the
licensing hotline at 303-692-2836. For general information about the Board of
Health HCW Flu Vaccination Rule requirements, you may call either person above
or email CDPHE.FluVacReport@state.co.us
