Should include the strongly significant relationship between drop in healthcare worker vaccination and rise in nosocomial influenza-like illness in their elderly patients

A 2014 study of 62,343 hospitalized patients found that their risk of infection with an influenza-like illness while in hospital rose over five-fold, from 1.1% to 5.7% (P < 0.001) as rates of influenza vaccination among their healthcare workers dropped by about 76%, from 13.2% to 3.1% (P < 0.001).
