“…Nevertheless, fear of adverse reactions was a significant barrier to the acceptance of the vaccine among our students. In studies conducted among university students 19,32 and health-care workers in other countries 1,3,10,34,35 , fear of adverse reactions was also one of the most common reasons for non-acceptance of the influenza A/H1N1 vaccine, and other reasons identified in these studies for non-acceptance of the vaccine were, in general, similar to the reasons reported by our group.…”

“…In studies conducted among health-care workers [2][3][4]12,26 , the frequency of adverse reactions following vaccination against pandemic influenza A/H1N1 ranged from 6.7% in Germany to 82.3% in Spain, and the adverse reactions reported by our group were, in general, similar to those described in these studies. The adverse reactions also were similar to those typically observed after the administration of seasonal inactivated influenza vaccines 6 .…”

“…Different predictive factors for acceptance of the pandemic influenza A/H1N1 vaccine were identified among health-care workers, including gender, age, previous vaccination against seasonal influenza, and perceptions about the disease and the vaccine [1][2][3]12,34 . In our group, female students were more likely to have received the vaccine, but we did not evaluate other factors that could confound this association.…”

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine, among medical students at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the acceptance of the pandemic influenza A/H1N1 vaccine during the 2010 mass immunization campaign and the vaccine safety in this group and, among unvaccinated students, the reasons for refusing vaccination. Of a total of 858 students, 678 (79%) participated in the study. Vaccination coverage was 60.4% among students aged 20 to 39 years (an age group targeted for vaccination) and 43.8% among those who did not belong to this age group. The most frequent adverse reactions to the vaccine were pain at the injection site (8.7%) and fever (7.9%). There were no serious adverse reactions. Among students aged 20 to 39 years, the most common reasons for refusing the vaccine were "lack of time" (42.4%), "fear of adverse reactions" (41.9%), and "difficult access to the vaccine" (11.5%). Other reasons for vaccine refusal were "uncertainties about vaccine safety and efficacy" and "vaccination was not needed". To increase the acceptance of the influenza vaccine, a comprehensive immunization program should be offered to these students.

In France, two oncology centers declared that thehealth professionals rate was 30.7% for the pandemic vaccine and 25.3% for the seasonal vaccine (14) . In the United States of America (USA), although the average percentage of adherence declared lies in 63.5% (15) in the 2010-2011 season, some institutions had declared best toppings, such as the 94% found among physicians at an university hospital in Pennsylvania (2) .…”

Objective: To determine the profile, vaccination status and the motivating factors that lead nurses of a university hospital to get vaccinated against influenza in order to maximize coverage through adequate operational/educational strategies. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with a sample size of 265 nurses. Results: Vaccination coverage was found to be 49.8% in 2009, 92.4% in 2010 and 95.4% in 2011. The professional profile with better adherence to vaccination was the mid level, female, 41-50 years, separated/divorced, not living with people susceptible to influenza, except chronic patient, also with more than one employment bond, placed at emergency where they often have contact with patients, trained and working for over 20 years, vaccinated in their own work sector, motivated by self-protection. Conclusion: The coverage percentage of 92.5% in 2010 and 95.4% in 2011, were considered exceptional within the current global reality. Educational actions within the institution created an incorporated culture of biosafety related to the topic. Keywords: Influenza vaccines; Nursing; Health knowledge, attitudes, practice; Health education resumo Objetivo: Determinar o perfil, a situação vacinal e os fatores motivadores que levam profissionais de enfermagem de hospital universitário a se vacinarem contra Influenza visando à maximização da cobertura por meio de estratégias operacionais/ educativas adequadas.
