    AbstractOnly few usable studies into the effect of influenza vaccination of health-care workers on sick leave and influenza among their patients are available in the literature. However, together these studies provide consistent evidence that this vaccination is effective and cost effective, reducing the death rate from all causes of residents of nursing homes for the elderly by 27-44%. Therefore, measures to raise the vaccination rate among health-care workers, which is at present under 25%, are highly recommended. However, more studies in this field are needed.
