在2009/10年甲型H1N1流感pdm09大流行期间，德国对普通民众进行了总共13次连续调查，以实时监测有关该疾病和大流行性流感疫苗接种的知识、态度和行为。在2009年11月至2010年4月期间，共有13,010名14岁或以上的人通过计算机辅助电话技术接受了采访。在大流行高峰期，只有18%的参与者表示，他们认为大流行流感的风险很高；这一比例在2010年1月降至10%。在人群亚群中，关于疾病和疫苗接种的信息寻求行为存在显著差异。然而，在所有分组中，电视、广播和报纸等传统媒体来源的使用频率都高于互联网。虽然大多数参与者（78%）感到充分了解情况以作出支持或反对疫苗接种的决定，但总体疫苗接种覆盖率仍然很低。在那些决定不接种疫苗的人中，最常见的理由是担心不良事件和认为现有疫苗没有得到充分评价。这种对疫苗的不信任和认为这种疾病的低风险是造成大流行期间德国疫苗接种覆盖率低的主要障碍。
During the influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 pandemic in 2009/10, a total of 13 consecutive surveys were carried out of the general population in Germany to monitor knowledge, attitude and behaviour concerning the disease and vaccination against pandemic influenza in real time. In total, 13,010 persons aged 14 years or older were interviewed by computer-assisted telephone techniques between November 2009 and April 2010. During the peak of the pandemic, only 18% of participants stated that they perceived the risk of pandemic influenza as high; this proportion fell to 10% in January 2010. There was a significant difference in information-seeking behaviour among population subgroups concerning the disease and vaccine uptake. However, in all subgroups, conventional media sources such as television, radio and newspapers were more frequently used than the Internet. While the majority of participants (78%) felt sufficiently informed to make a decision for or against vaccination, overall vaccination coverage remained low. Among those who decided against vaccination, fear of adverse events and perception that the available vaccines were not sufficiently evaluated were the most frequently stated reasons. Such mistrust in the vaccines and the perceived low risk of the disease were the main barriers that contributed to the low vaccination coverage in Germany during the pandemic.
