Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Protocol

Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Protocol
Background
Influenza infections are associated with increased medical costs, hospitalizations, lost
productivity, and thousands of deaths every year in the United States. The majority of deaths
from seasonal influenza occur in adults aged ≥65 years.1-4 Annual influenza vaccination is the
best way to reduce the risk for complications from influenza infections and in the United States
is now recommended for all persons aged ≥6 months.
Annual epidemics of seasonal influenza usually occur during the late fall through early spring
each year. During these times, rates of infection with influenza are highest among persons aged
≥65 years of age, in children <2 years and persons of any age who have medical conditions
placing them at increased risk for the complications of influenza.5-7 Occasionally, a variant strain
of influenza will emerge that is distinct from the expected seasonal strain and requires a separate
vaccination for prevention. For example in 2009/2010, the non-seasonal strain was novel
Influenza A (H1N1) 2009. Annual influenza vaccination is the most effective way to prevent
influenza virus infection and its complications.
Methodology
The Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Module targets the dialysis facility’s population,
greater than 6 months of age. Monthly data collection (prospective surveillance) is used. When
vaccinations for more than one subtype are recommended during a season, report denominator
data separately for each vaccination subtype (i.e., seasonal and non-seasonal).
An individual, trained on this Protocol, shall initially seek to identify any and all maintenance
dialysis patients treated at the facility as meeting criteria for seasonal vaccination during the
review period, and determine if influenza vaccination was offered, and then either accepted or
declined.
The CDC forms 57.505, 57.506 are used to collect all required data for this module. The
minimum requirement to participate in this module is one month during the influenza season
(September through April), but maximal benefit is obtained by completing the module for each
month of the entire influenza season.

Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Protocol

Monthly Data Collection (Prospective Surveillance)
Introduction: Prospective surveillance requires the use of two forms, the Dialysis Patient
Influenza Vaccination Denominator form (CDC 57.506), and the Dialysis Patient Influenza
Vaccination form (CDC 57.505) to collect all data for the period of surveillance. The patient
vaccination forms must be completed when the facility is performing an influenza vaccination
campaign during the September-April influenza season or year-round, depending on the policies
and procedures of the dialysis facility. The value of this method is that the information collected
will assist facilities in identifying whether NHSN patients meeting criteria for influenza
vaccination are actually receiving vaccination, and the details of those vaccinations.
Additionally, dialysis facility staff will be able to identify specific gaps in adherence and
recommend changes in practices to ensure that all eligible patients are being vaccinated.
Settings: This is a facility-wide surveillance in which all maintenance dialysis patients greater
than 6 months of age are monitored during the selected month(s).
Requirements: Surveillance consists of a review of all maintenance dialysis patients greater
than 6 months of age facility-wide to determine whether those patients who meet criteria for
influenza vaccination are offered and receive influenza vaccination. Surveillance must be
conducted for at least one calendar month during the influenza season as indicated in the Dialysis
Monthly Reporting Plan (CDC 57.501). During seasons when seasonal and non-seasonal subtype
vaccinations are recommended, such as 2009/2010, monitoring is required for all influenza
vaccinations and dialysis facilities offering both season and non-seasonal vaccinations should
report denominator data for each vaccination subtype (i.e., seasonal or non-seasonal) separately.
Patients requiring a second vaccine should not be included in the count of those previously
vaccinated. A Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Denominator form (CDC 57.506) and a
Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination form (CDC 57.505) need to be completed for each of the
2 doses given. (See latest CDC/ACIP recommendations for current season details). Ideally, the
facility should conduct surveillance during each month of the influenza season (September
through April).
Monthly surveillance requires determination of the number of maintenance dialysis outpatients
greater than 6 months of age in the following categories for the month selected for review and
submission of two separate denominator forms for each surveillance month if the facility offers
both seasonal and non-seasonal vaccines. (All box numbers refer to the boxes found on the
Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Denominator form [CDC 57.506]):

For the first month of your vaccination campaign, report the total patient census, separated
by patient dialysis modality. In subsequent months of your vaccination campaign, count
only new patients, by patient dialysis modality. (Only include patients 6 months or older.)

Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination Protocol

Complete a Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination form (CDC 57.505) for each patient in the
facility during the surveillance period. For those patients who decline influenza vaccination,
reasons for declination (medical contraindications and personal) are captured (Table 2).
Table 2: Examples of Medical Contraindications to Influenza Vaccination and of
Personal Reasons for Declining Influenza Vaccinations
Medical Contraindications
Allergy to vaccine components
History of Guillain-Barré syndrome within 6 weeks of
previous influenza vaccination
Current febrile illness (Temp >101.5°)
Personal (non-medical) reasons for Fear of needles/injections
declining vaccination
Fear of side effects
Perceived ineffectiveness of vaccine
Religious or philosophical objections
Concern for transmitting vaccine virus to contacts

Definitions: All box numbers refer to the boxes found on the Dialysis Patient Influenza
Vaccination Denominator form (CDC 57.506).


For the first month of your vaccination campaign, report the total patient census, by patient
dialysis modality. In subsequent months of your vaccination campaign, count only new
patients, by patient dialysis modality. (Only include patients 6 months or older.)

Numerator and Denominator Data: Numerator data are reported on the Dialysis Patient
Influenza Vaccination form (CDC 57.505) (refer to the tables of instructions for completion
details). Denominator data are reported on the Dialysis Patient Influenza Vaccination
Denominator form (CDC 57.506) (refer to the tables instructions for completion details).
Data Analysis: Data aggregated across the entire facility are stratified (e.g., month, influenza
subtype, influenza season, and patient dialysis modality). Table 3 shows the formulas for metrics
that can be calculated.
