To examine the perceptions among faculty and health professional students regarding mandatory vaccination policies on a health sciences campus.
A total of 296 faculty and 244 students completed surveys during Fall 2015.
The online survey administered to individuals who received the influenza vaccine during the fall 2015 influenza vaccination clinic season included five items evaluating perceptions of employer mandatory vaccination requirements.
Chi-square analysis indicated that although faculty and students agree mandatory vaccinations in a health care environment are appropriate, faculty are more likely than students to get vaccinated in the absence of a mandate. Additionally, a small fraction of faculty would consider employment elsewhere when facing this mandate.
Overall, faculty and students had favorable perceptions about mandatory influenza vaccine policies. Since students were less likely to be vaccinated in the absence of a mandate, education of students should be improved to support the importance of vaccinations in a health care environment.
探讨健康科学院校的教师和健康专业学生对强制疫苗接种政策的看法。
2015年秋季，共有296名教师和244名学生完成了调查。
对在2015年秋季流感疫苗接种门诊季节接种流感疫苗的个体进行的在线调查包括五个评估对雇主强制疫苗接种要求看法的项目。
卡方分析表明，虽然教师和学生都认为在医疗环境中强制接种疫苗是合适的，但在没有强制要求的情况下，教师比学生更有可能接种疫苗。此外，一小部分教师在面临这一强制要求时会考虑到其他地方就业。
总体而言，教师和学生对强制流感疫苗政策有积极的看法。由于在没有强制要求的情况下学生接种疫苗的可能性较小，应加强对学生的教育，以支持在医疗环境中接种疫苗的重要性。
