在一家拥有1156张床位的退伍军人管理局医院爆发的甲型流感/菲律宾H3 N2疫情涉及118名医院工作人员和49名患者。在医院内建立的前瞻性监测方法在确定涉及的人数方面没有用处。回顾性审查的流感的社区指标不会在该人群中发现流行性流感。疫情的控制是通过一种创造性的方法完成的，该方法使三分之一以上的医生和护理人员免疫。在随后的几年里，该免疫计划被成功地用于提高人员对免疫实践咨询委员会建议的遵守程度，每年为医院人员进行免疫接种。
An outbreak of influenza A/Philippines H3N2 at a 1156-bed Veterans Administration Hospital involved 118 hospital personnel and 49 patients. Prospective surveillance methods that had been established within the hospital were not useful in identifying the number of involved individuals. Community indicators of influenza, which were reviewed retrospectively, would not have identified circulating influenza in this population. Control of the outbreak was accomplished using a creative approach that immunized over a third of the physician and nursing staff. This immunization program was successfully used in subsequent years to increase personnel compliance with the Immunization Practices Advisory Committee recommendations to annually immunize hospital personnel.
