The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommends that all health care personnel (HCP) receive an annual influenza vaccination to reduce the risk for influenza and influenza-related morbidity and mortality among themselves and their patients. For the 2024-25 respiratory virus season, ACIP also recommended that all HCP be vaccinated against COVID-19. During March 26-April 17, 2025, CDC conducted a nonprobability opt-in internet panel survey of 2,650 U.S. HCP to estimate influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage during the 2024-25 respiratory virus season. Overall, 76.3% of HCP reported having received an influenza vaccine and 40.2% reported receiving the 2024-25 COVID-19 vaccine. Influenza vaccination coverage was highest among pharmacists (94.6%), physicians (92.6%), and HCP who worked in hospital settings (88.3%). COVID-19 vaccination coverage was highest among physicians (46.7%), assistants or aides (46.7%), and HCP who worked in long-term care and home health care settings (44.5%). Both influenza and COVID-19 vaccination coverage rates were highest among HCP whose employer required or recommended the vaccines or offered them on-site. A multipronged approach, including educating HCP about benefits of vaccination and implementing workplace strategies (such as employer vaccination recommendations or offering on-site vaccination) might improve vaccination coverage and reduce influenza- and COVID-19-related morbidity among HCP.
