In the USA, more than 36 000 deaths and 114 000 hospitalisations result from the influenza virus annually. Healthcare workers have been identified as a key source of influenza outbreaks. Despite Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations to vaccinate all healthcare workers, the rate remains low. A survey-based investigation of influenza vaccination rates and related factors was carried out in an urban community teaching medical centre. A total of 570 surveys revealed a 56.5% influenza vaccination rate among participants. Participants who received the vaccine had a significantly higher mean influenza knowledge score compared to those who did not receive the vaccine (P=0.003). Also, a relationship was identified between those who received the vaccine and the perception that the purpose of the vaccine is to prevent patients from being exposed to influenza (P=0.001). Lastly, hospital departments in which managers actively encouraged and facilitated vaccination had higher rates in general.
在美国，每年有超过3.6万人因流感病毒死亡，11.4万人因流感病毒住院。医护人员已被确定为流感暴发的一个关键源头。尽管疾病控制与预防中心建议为所有医护人员接种疫苗，但接种率仍然很低。在一个城市社区教学医疗中心开展了一项基于调查的流感疫苗接种率及相关因素的调查。总共570份调查问卷显示，参与者的流感疫苗接种率为56.5%。与未接种疫苗的参与者相比，接种疫苗的参与者的平均流感知识得分显著更高（P = 0.003）。此外，在接种疫苗的人员与认为疫苗的目的是防止患者接触流感之间发现了一种关联（P = 0.001）。最后，总体而言，管理人员积极鼓励并促进接种疫苗的医院科室接种率更高。
