This paper describes engagement in European Immunization Week (EIW) in Tyrol, Austria in April 2016 and an assessment of its possible impact on demand for measles, mumps, rubella vaccination (MMR). It further describes the output of a knowledge, attitudes and practice (KAP) survey conducted during EIW, showing that 93% (188/202) of respondents were in favor of vaccination in general and 90% (192/214) perceived MMR vaccination to be important. MMR vaccination was perceived as important by more participants than other vaccinations. The number of MMR doses administered by public health services in the province of Tyrol during EIW was greater than in the previous week, and EIW activities thus potentially resulted in increased MMR vaccine uptake in Tyrol during the observed period. The annual EIW campaign provides important opportunities to address vaccine hesitancy by raising awareness about immunization, to identify barriers to immunization and test possible solutions.
本文介绍了2016年4月在奥地利蒂罗尔州参与欧洲免疫周（EIW）的情况以及对其可能对麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹疫苗（MMR）需求产生的影响的评估。它还描述了在欧洲免疫周期间进行的一项知识、态度和实践（KAP）调查的结果，表明93%（188/202）的受访者总体上赞成接种疫苗，90%（192/214）的受访者认为MMR疫苗接种很重要。认为MMR疫苗接种重要的参与者比其他疫苗接种的更多。在欧洲免疫周期间，蒂罗尔州公共卫生服务机构接种的MMR剂量数比前一周更多，因此欧洲免疫周活动在观察期内可能导致蒂罗尔州MMR疫苗接种率上升。一年一度的欧洲免疫周活动提供了重要机会，通过提高对免疫接种的认识来解决疫苗犹豫问题，识别免疫接种的障碍并测试可能的解决方案。
