Satisfaction levels range from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). P-values are computed with Cochran-Armitage test for trend between characteristics of PCPs participating in the vaccination campaign and satisfaction level. For categorical variables with more than two categories, a reference category was selected for comparison with each of the other categories within the same variable: “25–45” for the age range, “< 20000” for the number of residents in the working province, “>900” for the number of patients, “In group” for work organization, “1–30” for the number of vaccinated children, and “>6 min” for both the time required for informed consent and registration and the time for vaccine execution.
