ABSTRACT
Influenza vaccination is the main measure of prevention against epidemic flu. Although recommended, vaccination coverage remains low. The lack of knowledge about the evolution of influenza in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic led to the recommendation of influenza vaccination to people at risk and professionals to avoid a greater burden than the one already posed by SARS-CoV-2. The aim of the study is to determine health professionals' intention to vaccinate against seasonal flu in the 2020-2021 campaign, in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, and to analyse the factors that influence it. Cross-sectional study through a structured survey aimed at Primary Care professionals in Central Catalonia. A total of 610 participants responded to the survey, 65.7% of whom intended to get vaccinated against influenza in this campaign, and 11.1% did not know or did not answer. The intention to get vaccinated is associated with the professional category and the number of years of professional practice. The profile of the professionals who intend to get vaccinated against flu includes professionals with a history of vaccination, who participate in on-call duties and perceive that their dependents were at risk of becoming ill. During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, although almost two-thirds of the respondents showed a clear intention to get vaccinated against influenza, 11% were doubtful. To improve influenza vaccination uptake among health professionals, strategies need to be devised to target those professionals who are hesitant or reluctant to vaccinate.
