Objective To investigate the free influenza vaccination of health care workers in major departments and explore the possible influencing factors of influenza vaccination of staff. Methods In November 2021, a questionnaire survey was conducted among health care workers who received free influenza vaccination in 19 major departments of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and the un-vaccinated workers’ information was obtained from the registration system of staff information. Multiple logistic regression model was used to analyze the possible influencing factors of free influenza vaccination. Results The coverage rate of centralized free influenza vaccination of staff in major departments was 32.7% (1101/3369). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that workers who were female [odds ratio (OR)=1.853, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.481, 2.318), P<0.001], with an educational background of high school or below [OR=4.304, 95%CI (2.484, 7.455), P<0.001], engaged in nursing work [OR=2.341, 95%CI (1.701, 3.221), P<0.001], and with 11 or more years of working experience [OR=2.410, 95%CI (1.657, 3.505), P<0.001] were more likely to inject influenza vaccine, and workers who had a bachelor’s degree were less likely to inject influenza vaccine. Conclusions The rate of free influenza vaccination among medical staff is low. In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of influenza vaccination among medical staff, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the population and take targeted measures to improve the level of vaccination among medical staff.
