Diseasespecific outbreak control measures are described in this report. Nationwide, ongoing implementation of these vaccine recommendations through wellmanaged vaccination programs could substantially reduce both the number of susceptible HCP in any setting in which they interact with patients and their risks for transmitting vaccine-preventable diseases to other personnel and patients.
