Influenza acquisition occurs in hospitals and nursing homes (NHs), highlighting the need for infection prevention. We used administrative data to quantify influenza exposure and facility-onset influenza rates for California hospitals and NHs during the 2015-2016 influenza season. Higher facility-onset influenza rates were identified in NHs compared with hospitals, despite fewer influenza exposure-days in NHs. Validation of administrative data are needed.
