Article Synopsis
- National guidelines recommend vaccinating immunocompromised patients on cancer therapy to reduce influenza-related health issues, and quality improvement (QI) strategies can enhance vaccination rates.
- A QI initiative was conducted focusing on education and communication to boost influenza vaccinations among oncology patients undergoing treatment, resulting in over 87% vaccination rates each season.
- The program was effective, achieving high vaccination levels and keeping influenza infection rates below 10% in vaccinated patients, despite challenges like vaccine refusals later in the season.
