Abstract
We examined staff influenza vaccination rates in rural hospitals that had b oth acute- and long-term-care (LTC) units. After controlling for hospital, acute-care staff were less likely to be vaccinated than LTC staff. There wa s no consistent association between type of worker and vaccination after co ntrolling for both hospital and type of care (Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2001;22:525-526).
