title: Attitudes of seasonal influenza vaccination among healthcare worker and general community population after pandemic influenza A/H1N1 in Hangzhou.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To know the attitude toward seasonal influenza vaccination among healthcare worker (HCWs) and general community population (GCP s) in the post-pandemic influenza A/H1N1 period.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 489 participants including 126 HCWs and 363 GCP s completed the investigation. 33.33% individuals (34.92% HCWs vs. 32.78% GCP s, p > 0.05) intended to accept the seasonal influenza vaccination after pandemic influenza A/H1N1. Individuals received seasonal influenza vaccination in the prior 3 y and monovalent A/H1N1 vaccination in 2009 were aggressive to vaccinate seasonal influenza vaccine with adjusted OR = 5.21 (3.20 ~ 8.49) and 1.97 (1.18 ~ 3.30). According to the results of multivariable logistic regression model, the safety not efficacy of influenza vaccine was the significant factor for acceptability of seasonal influenza vaccination (OR: 3.11, 95% CI: 1.76 ~ 5.50). The positive attitude of serious degree of influenza A/H1N1 and occupational factor were also associated with the willingness of seasonal influenza vaccination and the adjusted ORs were 2.09 (1.14 ~ 3.83) and 1.62 (1.00 ~ 2.64).
  
  
  METHODS
  We conducted a cross-sectional investigation in the beginning of seasonal influenza vaccination between 2010 and 2011, employed logistic regression analysis to compute the relationship between the willingness of seasonal influenza vaccination and variables after pandemic influenza A/H1N1.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Participants showed low acceptability of seasonal influenza vaccination after pandemic influenza A/ H1N1. Need educational program concerning the advantages of vaccine, comprehensible information about possible adverse effects and the hazards of seasonal influenza disease, which might motivate individuals to accept seasonal influenza vaccination.
