Promotion of Influenza Vaccination in Healthcare Workers During the Recruitment Visit

"An oral information is given by the nurse during the recruitment visit at the occupational medicine unit. She initiates the discussion on flu and asks the employee if he usually receives the vaccine. Then she provides a brief standardized information on recommendations concerning flu vaccination, and the annual influenza vaccination campaign in CHUV and PMU. She responds to questions.~After the interview, she gives an informative document with key messages (information about the disease, benefits to be vaccinated, vaccine safety, etc.). The document includes frequently asked questions, website address, and the email address of the occupational medicine unit in case of questions.~The third phase consists of sending to the employee shortly after the start of the next campaign of flu vaccination (November 2016), a postal mail recalling the information provided during the recruitment examination and inviting them to get vaccinated."
