Developing and Implementing an Intervention to Increase Immunization Coverage Among Frontline Long-Term Care Staff

In the years following the COVID-19 pandemic, immunization coverage has declined among frontline post-acute and long-term care (PALTC) staff, such as nurses, certified nursing assistants, and kitchen staff. We took a novel approach to addressing these declines by engaging frontline staff in design of immunization-focused professional development by surveying a convenience sample of 200 frontline PALTC staff to understand their attitudes toward immunization and preferences for job-related education and training.
