Abstract:

Influenza is a potentially serious disease, causing hospitalisations and deaths, particularly in children and the elderly. Traditionally immunisation efforts targeted the elderly and those at high risk from the disease. As awareness of the paediatric burden of influenza disease and potential population benefits of vaccinating children grew, immunisation efforts expanded, but coverage among children remains low. Expansion of influenza vaccine funding to include all Australian children is being considered, but there is little information about whether parents accept or support this. This thesis

Abstract:

Even though influenza vaccinations were provided free to all healthcare workers in the United States, healthcare workers were not 100% compliant. The non-compliance with influenza vaccinations may expose their patients, their families, and the public at large to a high-risk source of influenza infection. This study's research questions included how registered nurses perceived influenza and influenza vaccination; registered nurses' self-reported incidents with influenza vaccination; and factors that contributed to registered nurses' non-compliance with influenza vaccination.

Abstract:

Seasonal influenza is associated with signiï¬?cant morbidity and mortality among older adults, aged 65 and older. Since vaccination is the single most effective preventive measure against seasonal influenza, clinicians and senior citizen center administrators need a better understanding of the perceptions of older adults concerning the reason for poor influenza vaccine uptake. The purpose of this study was to identify perceived factors that may be associated with poor influenza vaccination uptake among older adults. The health belief model (HBM) guided the study.

Introduction: Seasonal influenza is believed to be a common attribution of morbidity and mortality in the children population, and it causes huge disease burden worldwide. Although seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended as the most effective prevention by the World Health Organization and vaccination programs for children have been introduced in many countries, vaccination coverage remains low. Parents are primary decision makers for their children's immunization, therefore it is important to understand the determinants that influence parents' decision-making to provide important inform

Abstract:

Background The pandemic of influenza A (H1N1-2009) virus was particularly widespread among children. Children and young adults were more likely to be infected than older adults, and infection among infants tended to lead to a higher risk of severe complications than among older children and adults. Vaccination against the virus was thus recommended as an effective countermeasure to protect these susceptible age strata from influenza infection and subsequent complications. Parental perception, attitudes and beliefs would thus play a major role in mitigating the pandemic influenza because the

Health care workers (HCW) are among the most vulnerable to the illness and are likely to be sources of infection transmission while caring for patients.

Abstract:

Background: Influenza is a highly contagious but preventable acute respiratory illness associated with high morbidity. Seasonal influenza affects approximately 20% to 40% of children and adolescents. Annual influenza vaccination is an effective approach to prevent illness but recent studies suggests that adolescents are underutilizing important preventive health services and that influenza vaccination coverage in high risk adolescents is also suboptimal. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between household reported health status and socio-demographic characteristics of U.

Problématique : Une évaluation économique, commandée par le ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux du Québec, vise à évaluer le rendement de deux programmes d'immunisation, soient la vaccination primaire et la vaccination antigrippale. Un des volets de cette étude économique nécessitera l'utilisation d'un questionnaire auto-administré auprès de personnes vaccinées contre l'influenza plusieurs semaines après leur vaccination. Objectif : Vérifier la fiabilité et la validité d'un questionnaire auto-administré sur l'efficacité populationnelle et les coûts assumés lors de la vaccination par

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Recently, new strains of influenza such as bird flu and swine flu have emerged. These strains have the capacity to infect people on a quite large scale and are characterized by their resistance to existing influenza treatment and their high mortality rates. In this thesis, we consider two models for influenza transmission dynamics that include both sensitive and resistant strains and accounts for disease induced mortality. The first model allows for immigration/migration and does not include any control measure. The seco

Abstract:

<p> The United States has set a 90% benchmark for influenza vaccinations for healthcare personnel. Unfortunately, healthcare personnel fall far short of that mark with current rates as low as 62%. Low vaccination rates are responsible for influenza, nosocomial influenza, influenza-like illness, and mortality during influenza season. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to understand the relationship between leadership styles, attitudes towards evidence-based practice, and vaccination intention among New Jersey registered nurses (RNs). Diffusion of innovations theory was the
