[h=1]Perception of the A/H1N1 influenza pandemic and acceptance of influenza vaccination by Universit? Claude Bernard Lyon 1 staff: A descriptive study.[/h] Amour S[SUP]1[/SUP], Djhehiche K, Zamora A, Bergeret A, Vanhems P.

[h=3]Abstract[/h] We assessed the perception and attitudes of university staff, including medical school and other science specialities, towards the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic and influenza vaccination program. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among 4,529 university personnel on October 19-20, 2009. Seven hundred (15%) employees participated in the study. Only 18% were willing to be vaccinated, men more than women (29% versus 9%, p<0.001), and professors/researchers more than administrative/technical staff (30% versus 6%, p<0.001). Intention to be vaccinated was insufficient. Additional efforts are needed to improve information dissemination among university staff. Medical university personnel should receive more information to increase vaccine coverage and protect them as well as patients.
