The CDC has made changes to vaccination reporting for health care personnel (HCP) in the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN). Beginning with reporting week January 1 – 7, 2024, NHSN users will note that data is no longer being collected on HCP who have completed a primary series of COVID-19 vaccination. Data is now collected only on HCP who are up to date and data items related to reasons for not receiving the vaccine will relate to the 2023/2024 vaccine only. NHSN hosted a webinar on January 4th at 12:30 PM CT detailing these changes. The webinar will be replayed on Tuesday, January 16th at 12:30 PM CT.
