In order to demonstrate that the ninety percent (90%) rate has been met, facilities and agencies shall: (A) By May 15th of every year, report to the Department, in the form and manner specified by the Department, the vaccination rate for employees and direct contracts for the most recent influenza season.” There are two ways to report your healthcare worker influenza immunization data for the 2020-2021 Season: NHSN: If your facility already reports other data to NHSN, you submit it anytime from April 1-May 15. Health Facilities Portal: There has been a delay in the creation of the new reporting tool. Once the reporting tool is available, we will send a message letting facilities know how to access the tool. Thank you for your patience in this matter.
