a. Nurses who think their job is at risk if they are not vaccinated are 12 times more likely to be vaccinated than nurses who do not perceive that their job is at risk.

b. The perception that obtaining the vaccine was inconvenient was not a significant predictor of whether a nurse would be vaccinated.

c. The best predictor of obtaining the influenza vaccination was whether or not the nurse had received the vaccination in the previous season.
