Influenza is an infectious disease with a high burden, for which a safe and efficacy vaccine is available. However, vaccination coverage is generally low, also among Health Care Workers (HCW). Health Professions students are comparable to HCW in terms of workplace exposure.
The study aim was to identify predictive factors of flu vaccination acceptance among Italian students of Health Professions.
A cross-sectional study was performed using a validated, on-line, anonymous questionnaire. Data were analyzed performing both univariable and multivariable logistic analysis.
The results showed a statistically significant association between intention to vaccinate next year and: geographical distribution, considering themselves at higher risk due to their profession, having been vaccinated last year, having recommended the vaccination last year, and being willing to recommend it next year and being favorable to mandatory vaccination. In conclusion, identifying an effective vaccination strategy and including students in flu vaccination campaigns might have positive effect on vaccination acceptance.
流感是一种具有高负担的传染病，有安全有效的疫苗可用。然而，疫苗接种率普遍较低，包括卫生保健工作者（HCW）。与 HCW 相比，卫生专业学生在工作场所接触方面相当。
本研究旨在确定意大利卫生专业学生接受流感疫苗接种的预测因素。
使用经过验证的在线匿名问卷进行横断面研究。使用单变量和多变量逻辑分析进行数据分析。
结果显示，明年接种疫苗的意愿与以下因素之间存在统计学显著关联：地理位置分布，认为自己因职业而面临更高的风险，去年已接种疫苗，去年建议接种疫苗，明年愿意推荐接种疫苗，以及对强制接种持赞成态度。总之，确定有效的疫苗接种策略并将学生纳入流感疫苗接种活动可能会对疫苗接种接受率产生积极影响。
