Influenza A/H1N1 new vaccine helps control disease spread. Cross-sectional survey was conducted at PHC & Emergency Departments in Qatar to determine influenza A/H1N1 vaccination rate among HCWs and associated factors, 523 HCWs were enrolled. The study showed that 13.4% HCWs received vaccination. Feeling protected strongly influenced vaccination decision (OR = 14.5). Uncertainty about vaccine efficacy and fear of side effects strongly influenced decision to reject the vaccine (OR = 0.3 and 0.2 respectively). Vaccination coverage was very low. The most common barriers were uncertainty about vaccine efficacy and fear of side effects. Health authorities should build message highlighting how the benefit of vaccination outweighs risk.
甲型 H1N1 流感新疫苗有助于控制疾病传播。在卡塔尔的 PHC 和急诊部门进行了横断面调查，以确定医护人员中甲型 H1N1 流感疫苗接种率及其相关因素，共纳入 523 名医护人员。研究表明，13.4%的医护人员接受了疫苗接种。强烈的保护感强烈影响疫苗接种决策（OR = 14.5）。对接种疫苗效果的不确定性和对副作用的恐惧强烈影响了拒绝接种疫苗的决定（OR = 0.3 和 0.2）。疫苗接种覆盖率非常低。最常见的障碍是对接种疫苗效果的不确定性和对副作用的恐惧。卫生当局应发布信息，强调疫苗接种的益处大于风险。
