Updates to Weekly COVID-19 Vaccination Healthcare Personnel Summary Reporting for January 2024: NHSN Long Term Care Component

COVID-19; vaccine
 


Beginning the week of January 1-7, 2024, the 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. 

NHSN will be hosting webinars to review these important changes:
