Australian hospital paediatricians and nurses' perspectives and practices for influenza vaccine delivery in children with medical comorbidities.

Dedicated immunisation services and supportive hospital leadership were drivers for influenza vaccine delivery at hospitals. Future interventions targeting hospital-based influenza vaccine delivery for children with comorbidities should take a rounded approach targeting providers' attitudes, the hospital environment and leadership support.
