文摘

Annual vaccination rates among French health care workers (HCWs) are in decline even in Emergency Services to which patients at highest risk of influenza complications are admitted, and in which HCWs have the greatest risk of exposure to influenza from patients. We aimed here to identify knowledge and attitudes towards influenza vaccination of HCWs in Emergency Services. We collected 344 self-administered questionnaires of 1060 HCWs. Only 18% of HCWs were vaccinated against influenza. Physicians were vaccinated more often (55%) than nurses (16%) or aid nurses (11%). The most important barriers to vaccination were reported as being a lack of time (33%), lack of safety of the vaccine (31%), fear of contracting influenza due to vaccination (29%), and lack of effectiveness (23%). Being vaccinated was significantly related to a higher knowledge score based on epidemiological influenza items (OR (95% CI)) (1.63 (1.08–2.46)) and vaccine features items (2.36 (1.36–4.10)).
