Original Source: Canadian Pharmacists Association, 2005 1 Police, firefighters, ambulance personnel, and correctional officers The following priority groups are recommended for annual influenza vaccination programs by the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI): people at high risk for influenza-related complications, those capable of transmitting influenza to individuals at high risk for complications, and those who provide essential community services. As significant morbidity and societal costs are associated with seasonal interpandemic influenza illness and its complications occurring in healthy children age ≥ 2 years and healthy adults, healthy children age ≥ 2 years and adults should also be encouraged to receive the annual influenza vaccine. For the full NACI recommendations for influenza immunization go to: http://www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/publicat/ccdr-rmtc/05vol31/asc-dcc-6/index.html This table has been extracted from the 2005 report, Influenza Immunization Guide for Pharmacists: http://www.pharmacists.ca/content/hcp/resource_centre/practice_resources/influenza_immunization.cfm |
