Abstract
We reported earlier on 1,500 hospital employees whose desire for hepatitis B vaccine was assessed. We followed 229 of these subjects to measure the effect of a voluntary educational intervention on desire for vaccine. Acceptance of vaccine declined in 37 per cent of subjects and increased in 13 per cent. One of the extraneous influences on demand for vaccine may have been high-profile media coverage of the AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) epidemic.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
