Vaccine Programs for Healthcare Workers: How Do You Improve Compliance Without Disrupting Shifts?

Healthcare worker flu vaccination has dropped to its lowest level since the pandemic, just 75% in 2023-24, down from a high of 81% in 2018-19. Coverage is even lower in long-term care and home health settings (65%), where patients are most vulnerable. As vaccination rates slip, maintaining a protected workforce requires removing barriers and making it easy for every shift to get vaccinated. Mobile Health’s employee vaccination programs bring flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines, and other immunizations directly to your facility, streamlining compliance tracking and ensuring your workforce stays protected without disrupting patient care.

The Compliance Challenge in 24/7 Healthcare Operations

Healthcare facilities typically require or recommend multiple vaccinations for their workforce, including:

  • Influenza (annual)
  • Hepatitis B series
  • MMR
  • Tdap
  • Varicella (chickenpox).

Coordinating vaccinations across multiple shifts while maintaining staffing levels creates operational challenges. Employees working nights or rotating shifts struggle to access traditional clinic hours, leading to compliance gaps. Mobile Health’s employee vaccination programs deliver vaccinations at your facility on your schedule, with automatic compliance tracking through the Client Portal. Vaccinating your workforce and maintaining compliance has never been more streamlined.

On-Site Vaccination Programs That Work Around Your Schedule

Mobile Health brings employee vaccination programs directly to your facility through on-site services designed around shift changes and operational needs. Vaccinations can be administered during breaks or shift transitions, typically taking just minutes per employee. This flexibility makes our on-site employee vaccination programs perfect for busy healthcare facilities.

For annual flu season, Mobile Health can schedule multiple on-site sessions across different shifts to maximize participation. Employees who miss an on-site session, work remotely, or are hired after on-site events conclude can complete required vaccinations at any of Mobile Health’s 6,500 nationwide clinic locations.

This hybrid approach allows healthcare organizations to customize vaccination programs to their workforce while maintaining consistent documentation, high participation rates, and predictable compliance timelines. At Mobile Health, we fit vaccination programs directly to your workforce.

Automated Compliance Tracking and Documentation

Compliance tracking can be a real headache for healthcare HR teams and employers. At Mobile Health, we make compliance tracking simple.

Our Client Portal provides centralized access to all employee vaccination records and compliance documentation in real-time. Results are delivered with 1.9-day average turnaround, and the portal maintains electronic storage of all compliance documents for easy retrieval during inspections.

The Mobile Health Client Portal can also integrate with your existing HRIS or ATS, allowing you to manage employee health data within your familiar workflow. Multi-location healthcare systems benefit from accessing all employee records across facilities from a single platform, standardizing vaccination protocols and maintaining audit-ready documentation system-wide.
