Nurses have an additional risk of exposure to influenza infection due to the nature of their work.

To determine the effectiveness of interventions in increasing seasonal influenza vaccination uptake among nurses.

Methods

Evidence on the effectiveness of interventions to improve seasonal influenza vaccination uptake among nurses was systematically reviewed. A comprehensive search of six electronic databases and grey literature was undertaken. A minimum of two reviewers completed study
