Pediatric influenza vaccination in the perioperative setting: A quality improvement project

CONCLUSIONS: Over three consecutive influenza vaccination seasons, we safely established and met vaccination rate goals of 10, 15, and 18% to eligible patients during preoperative clinic visits within a pediatric PSH system. Through iterative PDSA cycles, we continue to identify opportunities for future improvement. This suggests that the perioperative period presents opportunity for seasonal influenza vaccination with potential program expansion to include routine vaccines of childhood.PMID:37955042 | DOI:10.1111/pan.14790
