Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: this review revealed deficiencies in the literature about the appropriate components to increase the rate of influenza vaccination among health care workers. Further studies are needed to determine the right design and components of campaigns targeting influenza vaccination in health workers.

Reviewers’ commentary: campaigns involving only education or vaccination promotion resulted in minimal changes in vaccination rates. Further studies are needed to determine the appropriate components and combinations of components in influenza vaccination campaigns for health care personnel.
