A total of 301 valid questionn-aires were collected from public hospital nurses, radiologists, pharmacists, med-ical staff and administrative staff in central Taiwan. The major findings were as follows. The domains included in the questionnaire are the following: demogra-phic characteristics, healthy behaviors, health status and health believe to ward influenza vaccination. The data was analyzed by SPSS 18.0, using descriptive s-tatistics, t-test, Chi-square and logistic regression. The results show that, in terms of personal factors, there was no pregnancy (p = 0.001), no history of drug allergy (p <0.001), influenza vaccination is higher than the pregnancy / drug allergy group. In the case of vaccine brand effects (p <.05) and previous influenza vaccination (p <0.001), influenza vaccination rates were higher than those of non-vaccinated groups. In terms of health status, the normal health status (p <.05) and the health status compared with those of the same age (p <.05), indicating that influenza vaccine comparing with poor health is better than healthy people. There was no significant difference in health behavior. From this study, we noticed that the willingness to have influenza vaccinat-ion is associated with pregnant women, diabetes duration, perceived benefits and cues to action. The age of the individual and his/her diabetes duration could not be altered. Therefore this study suggests that medical professionals play a very i-mportant role in influenza prevention and the promoting of influenza vaccinatio-n. Enhancing the doctor-patient relationship and the trust in the medical team w-ill be a very important key. This study suggests that medical professionals should have sufficient and c-orrect knowledge about influenza and its vaccination. Adequate information and health education about influenza vaccination should be provided not only to the patients, but also to their family members. The correct concept could be promo-ted via community activities; TV or radio broadcasts, or even during the waiting time in OPD sessions. Health department of local government should also hold seminar and lectures concerning this topic to disseminate the correct concept.
