Multivariate analysis. The binary logistic regression analysis model evaluated variables that in univariate analysis were associated with vaccination status and favorable attitude towards influenza vaccine having a p value < 0.150, and included age, sex, medical specialization as covariates. Moreover, positive vaccination status was included as a covariate in the multivariate analysis about attitude towards influenza vaccine.
