Like Arthur Caplan (July 23, p 310),1 we are concerned that influenza vaccination uptake is poor in health-care workers and needs improvement. However, we disagree with Caplan that compulsion is required and assert that programme comprehensiveness is the most important determinant of vaccination uptake in health-care workers.
