ATLANTA, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- U.S. doctors are most apt to get a flu shot, nurses the least, but all healthcare workers are more likely to get vaccinated if offered for free, officials say.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an Internet panel survey of 1,944 self-selected healthcare personnel April 1-16. Overall, 72 percent of healthcare personnel reported having an influenza vaccination for the 2012–13 influenza season, an increase from 66.9 percent vaccination coverage during the 2011-12 season.
