	abstract = {Introduction: Singapore is a global city at risk of emerging diseases. Having withstood severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2003 and H1N1 influenza in 2009, we face the possibility of an outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) from the Middle East and H7N9 from China in 2013. Influenza vaccination coverage among healthcare workers (HCW) is essential for protection from occupational hazards especially during times of outbreaks of emerging diseases. We attempt to understand the attitudes and beliefs of HCW towards influenza vaccinations and the impact that emerging infections such as MERS and H7N9 have on their decision for vaccinations. Method(s): A randomised cross-sectional study was performed. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire was administered to ward nurses in Tan Tock Seng Hospital, the designated emerging diseases outbreak management hospital in Singapore. Result(s): A total of 1073 respondents were recruited with a response rate of 94\%. Significant variations were seen between locations of work, nationality, years working and job type. The effect of recent MERS and H7N9 outbreaks on vaccine uptake were moderate. For some responders, the decision for vaccination was due to the perception that seasonal influenza vaccine protects against MERS and H7N9 viruses. Discussion \& Conclusion(s): Misconceptions and misperceptions remain the main barrier for influenza vaccine uptake while accessibility, free vaccines and organised vaccination campaigns contribute to increased uptake. Media and global concerns for MERS and H7N9 have a moderate impact on influenza vaccine uptake in a designated infectious diseases outbreak management hospital in Singapore.},
