Student and faculty perceptions about mandatory influenza vaccinations on a health sciences campus.
Journal of American College Health : J of ACH 2017 October
OBJECTIVE: To examine the perceptions among faculty and health professional students regarding mandatory vaccination policies on a health sciences campus.
PARTICIPANTS: A total of 296 faculty and 244 students completed surveys during Fall 2015.
METHODS: The online survey administered to individuals who received the influenza vaccine during the fall 2015 influenza vaccination clinic season included five items evaluating perceptions of employer mandatory vaccination requirements.
RESULTS: Chi-square analysis indicated that although faculty and students agree mandatory vaccinations in a health care environment are appropriate, faculty are more likely than students to get vaccinated in the absence of a mandate. Additionally, a small fraction of faculty would consider employment elsewhere when facing this mandate.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, faculty and students had favorable perceptions about mandatory influenza vaccine policies. Since students were less likely to be vaccinated in the absence of a mandate, education of students should be improved to support the importance of vaccinations in a health care environment.
