摘要
Flu vaccination among nurses in the Veterans Health Administration system is crucial in the prevention of influenza. Nurses working at a Veterans Administration Medical Center completed the Influenza Vaccination Knowledge and Perceptions Survey. The findings from this survey suggest the need for additional education for nurses as it relates to flu vaccination.
