Vaccination is an effective and safe health technology. Despite this vaccine coverage falls short of national and international targets. Study design. The aim of the study was to evaluate the views of medical staff at Messina University Hospital regarding vaccinations, their current and future vaccination status and whether they recommend it to their patients.
The study was conducted from April 2016 to March 2017 by an anonymous face-to-face questionnaire submitted to HCWs.
A general lack of confidence and insecurity about vaccination was shown by a substantial proportion of physicians analyzed while pediatricians showed a positive attitude to vaccines. However, many physicians had not been immunized with the recommended vaccines for HCWs and therefore represent a potential source of infection for both patients and the general population.
Despite the evidence of the effectiveness and safety of vaccines, compliance by HCWs remains very low for a variety of reasons. A range of measures are therefore needed to ensure their use, not only by the general population, but also by doctors who should be their major promoters.
疫苗接种是一项有效且安全的健康技术。尽管如此，疫苗接种覆盖率仍未达到国家和国际目标。研究设计。本研究的目的是评估墨西拿大学医院医务人员对疫苗接种的看法、他们当前和未来的疫苗接种状况，以及他们是否向患者推荐疫苗接种。
该研究于2016年4月至2017年3月通过向医护人员发放匿名面对面调查问卷进行。
在所分析的相当一部分医生中，普遍表现出对疫苗接种缺乏信心和安全感，而儿科医生对疫苗持积极态度。然而，许多医生并未接种医护人员推荐接种的疫苗，因此对患者和普通人群来说都是潜在的感染源。
尽管有证据表明疫苗有效且安全，但由于多种原因，医护人员的疫苗接种率仍然很低。因此，需要采取一系列措施来确保疫苗的使用，不仅普通人群要接种，医生作为主要推动者也应该接种。
