Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; HCP = health care personnel; Td = tetanus-diphtheria toxoid; Tdap = tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine
* Calculated by dividing the number of respondents who reported receiving Tdap by the sum of those who reported receiving Tdap and those who reported receiving other tetanus vaccination; respondents who reported that the doctor did not inform them of the vaccine type they received and those who could not recall the vaccine type were excluded.
† Adults were classified as HCP if they reported they currently volunteer or work in a hospital, medical clinic, doctor’s office, dentist’s office, nursing home or some other health care facility including part-time and unpaid work in a health care facility as well as professional nursing care provided in the home.
§ p<0.05 by T test for comparisons between HCP and non-HCP.
