“…Similar acceptance rates for vaccination have been reported in other studies among the general population (Mexico 80% [28], Canada 69% [29] and 75% [30], and 89% in Kenya [31]). However, our results are markedly different from those in other studies that have reported a low willingness to be vaccinated in HCPs [13][14][15][32][33][34][35]. This difference could be explained by the period at which certain studies were conducted, especially under the influence of the evolution of the pandemic.…”

Introduction: During the 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic (pH1N1), different methods were promoted to reduce the spread of influenza, including respiratory etiquette and vaccination. To identify knowledge gaps about influenza and to plan the vaccination campaign against the pandemic in Côte d'Ivoire, a survey was conducted among health-care providers (HCPs) to assess their knowledge about influenza and their willingness to be vaccinated. Methodology: A cross-sectional survey was performed in the city of Abidjan on 16-18 February 2010, in the three university teaching hospitals, a randomly selected general hospital, and two randomly selected private clinics. In face-to-face interviews, 383 health-care professionals were asked questions about their knowledge of influenza, means of influenza prevention, and their willingness to be vaccinated. Data analysis, both univariate and multivariate, was performed using SPSS. Results: Willingness to be vaccinated against pH1N1 was 80% (n = 284), and 83% of the HCPs would recommend the vaccine to others. The respiratory mode of transmission of influenza was known by 85% (n = 295) of the participants and 50% (n = 174) believed that seasonal influenza virus and pH1N1 virus were different. In a multivariate model, the factors significantly associated with willingness to receive pH1N1vaccine were fear of pH1N1 disease (OR = 2.1; IC = 1.02-4.35), having only a high school education (OR = 8.28; IC = 2.04-33.60), and feeling at risk to contract pH1N1 (OR = 11.43; IC = 4.77-27.38). Conclusion: The willingness to be vaccinated against influenza A (H1N1) by health professionals is real.

“…previous adverse reaction to influenza vaccination, suggesting that their choices were not necessarily made with regard to the duties defined by their professional role. In line with previous research about the A/H1N1 pandemic [8,14], many HCWs had refused to be vaccinated because they did not believe they were at risk [2,4,5,7,22], or because they doubted the efficacy of the newly developed vaccine or were worried about its potential side-effects [23][24][25][26]. Similarly to past research [11,22,27], the HCWs who vaccinated did so not necessarily to protect patients' health but rather their own and that of their families.…”

“…In Brazil, media emphasized the adverse consequences of the pandemic of 2009 and the protective benefits of the vaccine, motivating people towards vaccination in 2010. In several countries, however, the media spread the idea that the vaccine had not been tested, and that it caused the disease rather than its prevention (13)(14)16) . This would explain the difference in coverage with other countries, where the fear of the pandemic was not enough for these professionals to adhere to vaccination.…”

The professional profile with better adherence to vaccination was the mid level, female, 41-50 years, separated/divorced, not living with people susceptible to influenza, except chronic patient, also with more than one employment bond, placed at emergency where they often have contact with patients, trained and working for over 20 years, vaccinated in their own work sector, motivated by self-protection. Conclusion: The coverage percentage of 92.5% in 2010 and 95.4% in 2011, were considered exceptional within the current global reality. Educational actions within the institution created an incorporated culture of biosafety related to the topic.
