Healthcare worker knowledge and attitudes regarding influenza immunization and childhood vaccination.

We surveyed healthcare workers (HCWs) about influenza vaccination and routine childhood vaccinations. We found that most HCWs' children received vaccinations, despite concerns regarding safety and efficacy. HCWs who received influenza vaccine were more likely to immunize their children against influenza, although a substantial proportion of HCWs' children did not receive influenza vaccination.
