The influenza A/H1N1 2009 immunization campaign did not have the accession of the French population resulting in a very low rate of immunization coverage. We conducted a cross-sectional study in spring 2010 to identify factors that led general practitionners (GPs) and their adult patients to be vaccinated or not; 43 GPs in France, included 668 patients; 29 GPs (67%) and 108 patients (16.5%) have been vaccinated; among 238 patients under vaccine priority indication 17% were vaccinated; 48% of patients thought they could receive effective treatment for influenza, 36% felt that the vaccine protected against influenza but 27% thought it did not meet usual safety criteria. A higher level of education, the belief of an effective protection with vaccination, the positive GP's opinion and behavior (OR 4,21 IC95% [1.4-14]; p=0.012), the receipt of an invitation to immunization (OR 7, 1 IC95% [1.73-58.4] and the active seek of information (OR 8.05, IC95% [2.8-27]) were significantly associated with vaccination. Regarding this immunization campaign few patients n=87 (13.7%) did trust the state heath agency. Our study confirms the distrust of the vaccine and suggests the decisive role of the GPs to achieve adequate levels of immunization coverage.
