Reminder: Healthcare Personnel Influenza Vaccination Report due Fri., May 1

The Healthcare Personnel Influenza Vaccination Report must be submitted electronically by close of business on Fri., May 1, 2015 on the Health Electronic Response Data System (HERDS). Providers that are required to submit the report include hospitals, nursing homes, diagnostic and treatment centers, certified home health agencies, long term home health care programs, AIDS home care programs, licensed home care service agencies and limited licensed home care service agencies and hospices. Assisted living programs must complete the report for their home care component.

To access the report, click on "Data Entry" in HERDS, choose the activity named "Health Care Personnel Influenza Vaccination Report" and select the reporting facility or agency from the "Organization" dropdown menu. If a closed or incorrect facility or agency is listed in your HERDS report dropdown menu, please contact the Department of Health (DOH) for correction. Users must first "Save," then press the "Review and Submit" button in order to successfully submit data. DOH warns that pressing the "Save" button alone does NOT submit your data to DOH.
