Abstract
Influenza is an acute respiratory disease that is highly contagious and preventable. The symptoms of influenza range from mild to severe and can even cause mortality. Healthcare professionals are at high risk of getting infected and transmitting the influenza virus due to their contact with patients and working in healthcare facilities. This review aimed at assessing the knowledge and attitude of healthcare professionals toward influenza vaccination by reviewing the previous studies conducted on this subject. The exploration of databases of PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Research Gate was adopted from 2017 till now. Many keywords were used for the search purpose, including “Knowledge, Attitude, Vaccination, Vaccine, Influenza, HCPs, and Awareness.” The included studies were original English studies focusing on healthcare professionals and reported knowledge, attitude, or both regarding influenza vaccination. A total of 3,330 articles were obtained, and only ten articles were eligible for the inclusion criteria. The total number of healthcare professionals was 6,330, with female dominancy in nine studies. The more dominant professions were nurses (46.8%%), followed by physicians/doctors (41.9%). There was insufficient overall knowledge and insufficient knowledge regarding the recommendations and guidelines regarding influenza vaccination among healthcare professionals, but they had a positive attitude.

Key words: Knowledge, attitude, HCP, vaccination, influenza vaccine.
