We surveyed physicians' opinions and acceptance of influenza immunization.
A web-based survey was sent to all physicians in two academic departments during spring 2009.
227 (40.5%) physicians responded. Physicians who frequently cared for high-risk patients self-reported higher immunization rates than physicians with infrequent contact (P=0.0002). There were no significant differences in immunization rates between emergency medicine (EM) and internal medicine (IM), between those with and without children at home, nor by age group. A majority (84.6%) supported mandatory vaccination. IM physicians were more supportive of mandates than EM physicians (P<0.0001).
Self-reported immunization rates were high among study physicians. Acceptance of mandatory vaccination was substantial, but varied by specialty.
我们调查了医生对流感免疫接种的意见和接受程度。
2009 年春季,我们向两个学术部门的所有医生发送了一份基于网络的调查。
227 名(40.5%)医生做出了回应。经常照顾高危患者的医生自我报告的免疫接种率高于接触不频繁的医生(P=0.0002)。急诊医学(EM)和内科(IM)之间、有子女在家和无子女在家的医生之间、以及不同年龄组之间的免疫接种率均无显著差异。大多数(84.6%)人支持强制接种。内科医生比急诊医生更支持强制接种(P<0.0001)。
研究医生自我报告的免疫接种率很高。对强制接种的接受程度很高,但因专业而异。
