MMWR: Influenza vaccination in US HCW’s

[Michael Wishart]

This survey result for influenza vaccination of healthcare workers in the US is interesting. The most striking result for me is that only 8.5% of vaccinated HCW’s chose “to protect patients from getting flu” as their primary reason for vaccination.
