Industry and occupation affect flu vaccination coverage

(Elsevier Health Sciences) Not surprisingly, healthcare workers are almost twice as likely to get flu vaccines as those in other occupations. However, fewer than 30 percent of workers in other occupations in frequent contact with the public -- such as food preparation and serving, sales, personal care, and service occupations -- are likely to be vaccinated, according to a study published in the April issue of the American Journal of Infection Control (AJIC), the official journal of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC).
