Estimating the effect of influenza vaccination on nursing home residents' morbidity and mortality.
This study estimated the effect of influenza vaccination on hospitalization and mortality in nursing home (NH) residents. It found that the association between vaccine match and reduction in overall mortality and pneumonia and influenza hospitalizations was strongest for A/H3N2, the influenza strain typically responsible for the most-severe influenza cases.

Healthcare worker influenza vaccination in Oregon nursing homes: correlates of facility characteristics.
The authors identified nursing home (NH) characteristics that may be associated with employee influenza vaccination rates (EVRs). They concluded that, as NHs generally have low EVRs, it may be necessary to target low-performing facilities to achieve substantial improvements.
