Article Synopsis
- Influenza poses a significant health risk to healthcare professionals (HCPs) as they can transmit the virus to vulnerable patients and their communities, making annual vaccination crucial for protection.
- A study conducted during the early COVID-19 pandemic aimed to assess how HCP demand for and beliefs about influenza vaccination had shifted, revealing that only 6% were regularly vaccinated and nearly 63% had never received the vaccine.
- The findings indicated a growing intention to get vaccinated among HCPs, with those more informed about vaccination or having chronic diseases showing much higher rates of vaccination interest; however, overall vaccination rates remain low, highlighting the need for improved training on this topic.
