Why Flu Vaccination Rates Are Still Low in Mallorca Hospitals
Low flu vaccine uptake in Mallorca hospitals is linked to shift work, access problems, and uncertainty about the vaccine.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Why is flu vaccination coverage so low among hospital staff in Mallorca and the Balearic Islands?
The low uptake seems to come from a mix of practical and communication barriers. Many staff say they did not have time, were unsure about side effects, or did not see influenza as serious enough, while shift work and limited access also make vaccination harder to fit into a busy day.
