| description | Abstract With effect from the 2008/2009 season, yearly influenza immunization will be recommended to all Dutch general practitioners (GPs). For successful implementation of this recommendation, knowledge about the current vaccination rate and attitudes towards vaccination is necessary. In February 2008, a questionnaire was mailed to a random sample ( n = 730) of practicing GPs. Vaccination rate was determined and the factors associated with not being vaccinated were assessed using multivariate logistic regression. Reasons for being vaccinated or not were also recorded. Of the 730 questionnaires sent out, 698 (96%) were completed and returned. In total, 248 GPs (36%) had been immunized against influenza. Independent factors related to not being vaccinated were female gender and age |
