Behavioral change with influenza vaccination: Factors influencing increased uptake of the pandemic H1N1 versus seasonal influenza vaccine in health care personnel

► We compared attitudes to influenza vaccination among two groups of health care personnel (HCP) who received the pH1N1 vaccine: those who did (RV) or did not (NRV) routinely get the seasonal vaccine. ► For the NRV group the major influence in their decision to get the pH1N1 vaccine appeared to be that their perception of risk outweighed their concerns about the vaccine. ► The NRV group was much less concerned about seasonal influenza than pH1N1 influenza.
