“…Because a person’s history of influenza vaccination is considered a positive predictor of future vaccination [ 14 , 15 , 16 ], we chose to focus on that particular aspect: the continuity of vaccination over time, in accordance with other studies [ 17 , 18 ]. Like these authors, we found that influenza vaccination continuity was more common in males than females, and among people with a higher mean age; moreover, a major chronic condition increases compliance with vaccination.…”

Immunization of health care workers (HCWs) against influenza has been associated with improvements in patient safety. The aim of this study is to assess the beliefs, attitudes, and knowledge of HCWs and health profession students regarding influenza. An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to HCWs in three local Florentine healthcare units, at Careggi University Teaching Hospital, and to students in health profession degree programs. A total of 2576 questionnaires were fully completed. A total of 12.3% of subjects responded that they were “always vaccinated” in all three of the seasonal vaccination campaigns studied (2007–2008 to 2009–2010), 13.1% had been vaccinated once or twice, and 74.6% had not received vaccinations. Although the enrolled subjects tended to respond that they were “never vaccinated,” they considered influenza to be a serious illness and believed that the influenza vaccine is effective. The subjects who refused vaccination more frequently believed that the vaccine could cause influenza and that it could have serious side effects. More than 60% of the “always vaccinated” group completely agreed that HCWs should be vaccinated. Self-protection and protecting family members or other people close to the respondent from being infected and representing potential sources of influenza infection can be considered motivating factors for vaccination. The results highlight the importance of improving vaccination rates among all HCWs through multi-component interventions. Knowledge of influenza should be reinforced.

“…They were more frequent in men versus women for any type of reaction ( p < 0.05). In some studies conducted in Spain, the percentage of ADRs was similar [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. In relation to serious ADRs, other studies have found similar results, with no serious ADRs [ 41 ], reinforcing the safety profile of the vaccine.…”

(1) Background: Vaccination is the most effective intervention to control seasonal influenza morbidity and mortality. The present study aimed to determine the influenza vaccination coverage in the Military Health Corps personnel in the 2020–2021 season, as well as the time trend and the possible influence of the pandemic on coverage, in order to study the reasons that led to the non-vaccination of health professionals and to analyze adverse drug reactions (ADRs). (2) Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted from February to May 2021. All FAS CMS personnel were included. A self-administered questionnaire was sent by e-mail to the selected personnel. (3) Results: Vaccination coverage in the 2016–2017 season was 15.8% (n = 276), in the 2019–2020 season it was 17.41% (n = 424), and in the 2020–2021 season it was 24.22% (n = 590). The percentage of vaccinated men was higher than the percentage of women. In 2019 and 2020 the most vaccinated group was 31–40 years old. Lieutenants had the highest vaccination uptake in 2019 and 2020. The personnel with the highest uptake of vaccines were those in the specialty of nursing in each of 2016, 2019 and 2020, with >30 years of time worked in 2016. In terms of factors leading to refusal of vaccination, the most reported was “not considered a risk group” (23.0%), and the least reported was “avoidance of vaccine administration” (2.2%). Eighty individuals presented adverse reactions after vaccine administration (9.6%). (4) Conclusions: The rate of influenza vaccination among healthcare professionals was lower during the 2020 season compared to the previous season, but was expected to increase in the upcoming 2021 season.

“…Los motivos por los que este colectivo muestra reticencia a la vacunación han sido objeto de estudio durante los últimos años, tanto internacionalmente como en nuestro país. Las múltiples investigaciones, que incluyen desde metaanálisis hasta estudios unicéntricos regionales, coinciden en que la actitud ante la vacunación en las temporadas previas es un factor predictor de una mayor vacunación, así como convivir con personas de riesgo, y el miedo a enfermar o a contagiar a los pacientes [ 64 ]. Además, un estudio descriptivo realizado en la Comunidad Valenciana que comprende tres temporadas (2011-2014) concluyó que existen diferencias significativas entre los profesionales que se vacunan siendo los facultativos los menos vacunados y el personal de enfermería el que presenta una mayor cobertura vacunal [ 65 ].…”

Seasonal flu continues to be a major public health concern, and the influenza vaccine remains the most effective preventive measure. In Spain, vaccination coverage data from previous seasons show vaccination rates well below official targets; however, these figures improved significantly after the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the importance of achieving and maintaining high vaccination rates in order to avoid the clinical and economic impact of influenza, our multidisciplinary group of experts on vaccines analyzed the impact of low vaccination rates in Spain and drafted a series of measures to boost influenza vaccination coverage, particularly among priority groups.
