Abstract

The purpose of this project is to improve the staff influenza vaccination rate at an Assisted Living facility in northern New Jersey. The goal of this project is to evaluate current staff vaccination rates, assess the staff’s opinion of the vaccine, and to address and overcome vaccine hesitancy. Project objectives relate to the following PICOT question: In healthcare workers at an assisted living facility (P), how does an educational intervention aimed at reducing vaccine hesitancy and improving vaccination acceptance (I) compared to no intervention (C) affect the rate of vaccination of the healthcare worker(O) over the course of three months (T)The objectives of this project are: • a 2% increase in staff influenza vaccination rate. • a 5% increase in post-test employee survey scores related to confidence, calculation, and collective responsibility compared to pre-test employee survey scores. • a 5% decrease in post-test employee survey scores related to complacency and constraint compared to pre-test employee survey scores.
