RESUMO
Smith, J. W. G., Pollard, R., Fletcher, W. B., Barker, R., and Lewis, J. R. (1974).British Journal of Industrial Medicine,31, 292-297. Influenza vaccination—acceptance in an industrial population. Influenza vaccination was offered in a pharmaceutical factory of approximately 6 000 employees in December 1971 and again in December 1972. The rate of acceptance of vaccination was 42% in 1971 but fell to only 27% in 1972, and was highest among middle-aged married women and lowest among young men. Only 57% of employees who were vaccinated in 1971 and were still employed in 1972 accepted vaccination on the second occasion. Re-vaccination was commoner in staff (64%) than in works employees (52%) in all age and sex categories, and was commoner in older than in younger employees. Only 6% of employees who did not accept vaccination in 1971 accepted the vaccine in 1972. Among new employees who were not in the factory in December 1971 the acceptance rate was 21% in 1972.
