What’s happening: Beginning the week of January 1-7, 2024, the NHSN Weekly COVID-19 Vaccination Healthcare Personnel (HCP) form will no longer collect information on primary series vaccination.

These changes include:

• Questions related to COVID-19 primary series vaccination being removed. 
• Questions on reasons why an individual has not received vaccine (medical contraindication, declined, or other/unknown vaccination status) will relate to an individual’s up-to-date vaccination status. 
• The question asking “number of HCP who are up to date” being moved up on the form to Question #2.
• HCP not being considered up to date for COVID-19 vaccination unless they received the updated 2023-2024 COVID-19 vaccine. 

Register for the NHSN webinar on the changes.

• Updates to Weekly COVID-19 Vaccination Healthcare Personnel Summary Form: Long Term Care Component | January 16, 2024, 1:30 – 2:30PM pm
