H1N1 vaccine acceptance among parents in Greece.
The aim of this study was to assess the acceptance of H1N1 vaccination among parents in Greece. A sample of 850 parents participated in the present study. Interviews were performed using a structured questionnaire. The overall percentage of participants reporting that they had been administered the H1N1 vaccine was 0.35%. Only 1.18% of the respondents who had not been administered the vaccine were willing to accept it. A significant barrier to H1N1 vaccination is concern about vaccine safety.
