Abstract
Influenza vaccination is recommended for all health care personnel (HCP), but immunization rates for this group continue to be suboptimal. This study explores relationships between individual characteristics, beliefs, knowledge, attitudes, and vaccination behavior through 2 surveys conducted at a university health center. The findings suggest that HCP who were vaccinated the year before, intended to be vaccinated next year, believed influenza vaccination was important, and were more knowledgeable are more likely to receive a vaccine.
