[h=3]Abstract[/h] Given the very low influenza vaccination coverage averaging 4% among health-care workers at Policlinico Tor Vergata during the previous epidemic seasons, it was decided to implement a series of interventions to promote influenza vaccination compliance in the current (2017/2018) season. The total number of vaccinated health-care workers at the end of the current season was 364, resulting in a vaccination coverage of approximately 12%. The increase took place in all professional groups, with a coverage of 25% among permanent MDs, 9% among Medical Residents, 3% among nurses and 8% among technicians. The influenza vaccination coverage of 12%, although very low compared to the minimum target of 75%, is broadly in line with the values reported by other hospitals in Italy.
