The aim of this work is to evaluate the attitudes, behaviours, and knowledge of health\nworkers employed at an Italian University Hospital on the topic of vaccinations and in regard to flu\nvaccination. To this end, the study provided for the articulation of a computerised questionnaire on\nthe digital platform EUSurvey which was administered online via e-mail to a sample of 457 health\nworkers, in the period between November 2018 and March 2019. The data were subjected to\ndescriptive and inferential statistical analysis. In particular, a logistic regression analysis was carried\nout in order to evaluate the relationship between the variables collected and the dichotomous\noutcome (vaccinated/unvaccinated subjects in the 20180-2019 season). The results, in line with what\nhas been reported by the literature, highlighted that vaccine hesitancy is prevalent also among\nhealth workers. Furthermore, according to our study, only 30.6% of the health care workers had the\nflu vaccination. The survey points out the need to plan educational and informative interventions\naimed at changing the attitudes, behaviours, and knowledge of health workers in the field of flu\nvaccination, for the purpose of protecting the health of healthcare personnel and their patients.
