Abstract:
BACKGROUND:The compliance with influenza vaccination among health-care workers (HCWs) is known to be low. A multi-nationality survey to explore the reasons for such poor compliance has not been studied in depth.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:An epidemiologic survey to evaluate the compliance rates with influenza vaccination and possible associated reasons for compliance.
RESULTS:A total of 450 survey sheets were distributed and 244 (54.2%) were completed. Of the total respondents, 51 (20.9%) were Saudi, 114 (46.7%) were other Arabs, 21 (4%) were North American, 21 (8.6%) were from UK or South Africa and 48 (19.7%) did not indicate their nationalities. There were 32 (13.1%) physicians, and 132 (54.1%) nurses. The overall influenza vaccination rate was 41% in the preceding year and 69% in the preceding 5 years, and 49.2% (n=110) of the latter group received one to three vaccines. Of the total respondents, 156 (63.9%) report that the influenza vaccine was important, 86 (35%) report that they were not at risk of influenza, 163 (66.8%) report that the influenza vaccine was not safe and 152 (62.3%) report that influenza was not a serious illness. In a multivariate analysis, the following factors were important in choosing vaccinations: being a male, other Arab nationality, and knowing that influenza vaccine is important (P journal_name journal_title authors doi subject pub_date pages issue eissn issn pii journal_volume pub_type
