Influenza vaccine which was provided by Ministry of Health was administered to HCWs at Vaccination Center of Infectious Control Department between November 20 and 30, 2006. After the vaccination procedures finished, a survey was done to 315 HCWs which were selected randomly from personel sheets. Influenza vaccination rate was 34.6% for 2006-2007 season. There was no significant difference between vaccination rates of physician staff and nursing staff. 47.7% of the HCWs were vaccinated at the hospital. The main reason for not being vaccinated was consideration of the vaccine as ineffective (38%).
