Influenza seriously impacts the health and well-being of individuals and communities and has significant implications for the health care system. Despite known benefits of influenza vaccination, inoculation rates among health care providers remain low. Close proximity to patients, the potential to act as an infection vector and their role in patient education has focussed attention on how health care professionals make personal vaccination decisions. This commentary explores the inherent complexity of vaccination decision-making and offers suggestions for a multiple intervention approach to address health care providers’ vaccination uptake needs. Directions for future research are also discussed.
