Article Synopsis
- The study examined influenza vaccination rates, knowledge, and attitudes among resident physicians (RPs), revealing 38.3% of RPs were vaccinated in the 2003-2004 season.
- Over half of the respondents indicated "self-protection" as the main reason for getting vaccinated and "lack of time" for not getting vaccinated.
- A large knowledge gap was identified, with RPs who had been vaccinated scoring higher on knowledge assessments compared to those who had never been vaccinated.
