“…Our data are consistent with findings from several other studies in that vaccine uptake is significantly lower for nurses than physicians. 18,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] One study determined that physicians had a higher level of knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccines were less likely to expect a severe reaction to the vaccine, and more likely to consider influenza vaccines effective than nurses. 18 Similarly, increased knowledge levels and beliefs that influenza is a serious illness and that vaccinations are safe were associated with higher uptake among nurses.…”

BackgroundInfluenza vaccine coverage rates among healthcare workers (HCWs) in acute care facilities in Canada remain below national targets.ObjectiveTo determine factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake among HCWs.MethodsThis secondary analysis of a prospective cohort study included HCWs aged 18‐69 years, working ≥20 h/wk in a Canadian acute care hospital. Questionnaires were administered to participants in the fall of the season of participation (2011/12‐2013/14) which captured demographic/household characteristics, medical histories, occupational, behavioural and risk factors for influenza. Generalized estimating equation logistic regression was used to determine factors associated with vaccine uptake in the season of participation.ResultsThe adjusted odds ratio for influenza vaccination in the current season was highest for those vaccinated in 3 of 3 previous seasons (OR 156; 95% CI 98, 248) followed by those vaccinated in 2 of 3 and 1 of 3 previous seasons when compared with those not vaccinated. Compared with nurses, physicians (OR 4.2; 95% CI 1.4, 13.2) and support services staff (OR 1.8; 95% CI 1.3, 2.4) had higher odds ratios for vaccine uptake. Conversely, HCWs identifying as Black had lower odds of uptake compared with those with European ancestry (OR 0.44, 95% CI 0.26‐0.75) when adjusted for other factors in the model.ConclusionHealthcare workers differ in their annual uptake of influenza vaccine based on their past vaccination history, occupation and ethnicity. These findings indicate a need to determine whether there are other vaccine‐hesitant groups within healthcare settings and learn which approaches are successful in increasing their uptake of influenza vaccines.

“…While the reasons for and against influenza vaccinations have been well studied in other developed countries, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] it is unclear as to whether these reasons are similar or different in Australian HCWs. Additionally, it is possible that the reasons for and against influenza vaccinations might differ for Australian HCWs serving pediatric 12 or obstetric populations compared with other patient groups.…”

“…Une autre difficulté doit être abordée pour augmenter la couverture vaccinale, c'est celle de l'acceptation par les soignants. De nombreuses études s'y sont intéressées [21,116,128,129]. En résumé, la couverture vaccinale contre la grippe chez les soignants reste faible.…”
