Declining Influenza Vaccination Coverage among Nurses, Hong Kong, 2006-2012.
Lee SS, Wong NS, Lee S.
Abstract
Seasonal influenza vaccination of nurses in Hong Kong fell from 57% in 2005 to 24% in 2012, paralleling concern for adverse reactions associated with vaccination. Decreased acceptance of vaccination was most prominent among nurses who had less work experience and more frequent contact with patients.
