A Time-motion Study Comparing Self- to Nurse-vaccination With Influenza Vaccine

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that people working in an acute care hospital setting will be able to successfully self-administer the intradermal vaccine (Intanza) in less time than nurse-administration of the regular intramuscular influenza vaccine (Vaxigrip). The investigators also hypothesize that people administering the intradermal vaccine for the second time will take less time to successfully administer than people administering it for the first time.
