Zusammenfassung:Influenza vaccination of healthcare personnel (HCP) is recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). Vaccination of HCP can reduce morbidity and mortality from influenza and its potentially serious consequences among HCP, their family members, and their patients. To provide timely estimates of influenza vaccination coverage and related data among HCP for the 2011-12 influenza season, CIX conducted an Internet panel survey with 2,348 HCP during April 2-20, 2012. Here, a summary of the results of that survey is presented.
