Article Synopsis
- The study focused on influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare workers (HCWs) in public hospitals in Madrid during the 2021-2022 season, revealing an overall vaccination rate of 52.1%.
- Individual factors positively linked to vaccine uptake included being female, older age, being born in Spain, holding a medical position, having multiple high-risk conditions, and previous vaccination history.
- The research highlights that while some hospitals had varying impacts on vaccination rates, the overall coverage for HCWs was still suboptimal, suggesting a need for targeted strategies to increase vaccine uptake among specific groups.

Objective: The incidence of COVID-19 infections among health professionals during the sixth wave has suffered an exponential increase, mainly due to the rapid community transmission caused by the Omicron variant. The main objective of the study was to evaluate the time to negativization in COVID-positive health professionals during the sixth wave, according to the PDIA result; and secondarily, to evaluate the possible influence of other factors (previous infection, vaccination, sex, age, job position) on the time to get negative status.
Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal, observational and retrospective study was carried out at Infanta Sofía University Hospital (Madrid, Spain).
