Because little is known about clinician satisfaction with infant vaccination visits, we measured satisfaction and the effects of the number of injections on satisfaction. Clinicians from 35 pediatric centers self-administered a questionnaire using visual analog scales augmented by a Likert scale. All 95 pediatricians and 137 nonphysician vaccinators responded. In both populations, increased injections predicted decreased overall satisfaction, and decreased satisfaction with obtaining consent, time to prepare/administer, getting upset during administration, and time to update records (each p<0.01). Satisfaction decreased markedly, on each measure, at 4-injection visits, 5-injection visits, or both.
