An assessment of influenza vaccination among health profession students.
Health profession students work in close proximity to patients and could be a source of nosocomial influenza. We studied the proportion of health profession students presenting for immunization at an influenza immunization campaign. This assessment is useful to guide future campaigns as we prepare for pandemic influenza.
