title: [Influenza vaccination among health-care workers. Vaccination rates in universitary hospital of Besançon, winter 2003-2004].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Influenza vaccination reduces the mortality of the patients when the vaccination rates of healthcare workers is important. PURPOSE AND METHOD OF THE STUDY: To investigate the vaccination rates at the Universitary Hospital of Besançon by anonymous questionnaire.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three thousand hundred seventy-seven answers were analyzed (228 men and 1145 women). Two hundred seventy-seven persons declared receiving the vaccine (20.1%) corresponding to sixty-three men (27.6%) and two hundred thirteen women (18.6%) (P = 0.001). The average age of the healthcare workers vaccined was of 38.9+/-11 years. Among most than 50 years, 34% was vaccined. Among the doctors, 40.5% were vaccined against 20.6% of the nurses. In the services of geriatrics, 78.5% of the staff was vaccined.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Our results indicate a weak rate of influenza vaccination in our establishment and a misunderstanding of the character nosocomial of the influenza among the nurse.
