[Vaccination against influenza: results of a study on vaccination coverage among health care workers in the Croix-Rousse Hospital (Hospitals of Lyon)].
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate the vaccinal status among Croix-Rousse Hospital workers, attitude towards this vaccination, and the information delivered in order to promote this vaccination.


METHODS
Questionnaires were delivered by electronic mailing.


RESULTS
Six hundred (and) twenty-nine questionnaires were analyzed (26.7% of hospital workers); 30.7% of responders were vaccinated against influenza, 89.2% of responders were aware of influenza and vaccine. Vaccine coverage was lower in younger workers, non health-care workers, non physician health-care workers, and surgeons who responded. Motivation and reserve varied according to the status, position, and age, with some discrepancies.


CONCLUSIONS
These results suggest implementing a better targeted vaccination campaign, according to the various categories of personnel.
