Inaccurate information leads to increased scepticism concerning vaccinations among health care workers. Therefore, a proper education of medical students on vaccination is important.
During summer term 2015, we performed a paper-based survey to identify the knowledge and attitudes of medical students on vaccinations against measles, influenza and HPV in seven medical schools in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Altogether, 3,652 questionnaires were analyzed. Knowledge of country-specific public recommendations increased significantly with the number of semesters of medical studies. Concerning the knowledge about vaccinations against measles, influenza and HPV, one third of the answers were given correctly. Again, a strong correlation between the knowledge and the semester of medical studies could be observed. The attitudes concerning vaccinations in general and especially for HCWs were highly positive.
This study provides some important arguments for the development of a comprehensive vaccination education for medical students.
不准确的信息会导致医护人员对疫苗接种产生更多的怀疑。因此，对医学生进行适当的疫苗接种教育很重要。
在 2015 年夏季学期，我们在德国、奥地利和瑞士的七所医学院进行了一项基于纸质的调查，以了解医学生对麻疹、流感和 HPV 疫苗接种的知识和态度。
共分析了 3652 份问卷。对特定国家公共建议的了解随着医学学习学期数的增加而显著增加。关于麻疹、流感和 HPV 疫苗接种的知识，三分之一的答案是正确的。同样，知识和医学学习学期之间也存在很强的相关性。总体而言，对疫苗接种的态度，特别是对 HCWs 的态度非常积极。
这项研究为医学生疫苗接种教育的综合发展提供了一些重要依据。
