Abstract

The influenza virus requires vaccination for the world to have some control of the spread of the disease. People who inject drugs are just as likely to reject the influenza vaccine as the rest of the population but are at higher risk for complications from the virus (Lunan, 2020). The purpose of this study was to determine if an educational intervention would decrease vaccine hesitancy in PWID.
