Infection Prevention Manual

Influenza vaccination of adults has been shown to reduce both direct medical costs and indirect costs from absenteeism. Several studies demonstrated that the vaccination of adults aged younger than 65 years resulted in 13–44% fewer health care provider visits, 18–45% fewer lost workdays, 18–28% fewer days working with reduced effectiveness, and a 25% decrease in antibiotic use.
