We assessed whether an influenza vaccination (IV) campaign was effective at increasing vaccination rate in healthcare workers (HCWs) in 2 hospitals in Doha, Qatar that had no mandatory IV policy. The campaign comprised promotional, educational and vaccine delivery interventions; a dedicated IV team; telephone hotline; free IV with improved access, leadership involvement; incentives; group educational sessions; and reporting/tracking activities. During the 2014/15 influenza season, IV rates according to hospital and HCW category were calculated and compared with the 2 seasons before the intervention. The combined mean rate for IV for both hospitals increased for 2014/15 (64.3%) compared with 2013/14 (37.2%) and 2012/13 (28.4%). There was increased IV uptake among doctors and nurses at each hospital, and the IV rate for the 2 hospitals (59.1 and 69.5%) were higher than in 2013/14 (21.1% and 53.2%) and 2012/13 (17.2% and 39.6%). The findings highlight the importance of improving IV rates among HCWs in hospitals with no mandatory vaccination policies through multicomponent interventions.
我们评估了在卡塔尔多哈的两家没有强制性流感疫苗接种政策的医院开展的流感疫苗接种活动，是否能有效提高医护人员的疫苗接种率。该活动包括宣传、教育和疫苗接种干预措施；一个专门的流感疫苗接种团队；电话热线；提供更便捷的免费流感疫苗接种、领导层参与；激励措施；团体教育课程；以及报告/跟踪活动。在2014/15流感季节，计算了两所医院按医院和医护人员类别划分的流感疫苗接种率，并与干预前的两个季节进行了比较。与2013/14年（37.2%）和2012/13年（28.4%）相比，2014/15年两所医院流感疫苗接种的综合平均率有所提高（64.3%）。每家医院的医生和护士的流感疫苗接种率都有所提高，两所医院的流感疫苗接种率（59.1%和69.5%）高于2013/14年（21.1%和53.2%）以及2012/13年（17.2%和39.6%）。研究结果突出了通过多组分干预措施提高没有强制性疫苗接种政策的医院中医护人员流感疫苗接种率的重要性。
