In Switzerland, the implementation of national health and prevention strategies is regulated at the cantonal level. To date, no in-depth inventory outlining the cantonal health activities and legal frameworks for influenza vaccination exists.
To assess the activities and legal frameworks for influenza vaccination during the 2019/20 season across all 26 Swiss cantons.
Survey using a structured closed-ended questionnaire.
The activities' range across the cantons is broad from 11 activities in the canton Vaud to one in cantons Grisons and Jura. French/Italian-speaking cantons conduct 1.5 times more influenza vaccination activities on average than the German-speaking cantons. 23 of 26 cantons authorize influenza vaccination by pharmacists. All cantons allow nurses to vaccinate under the responsibility of a doctor.
Influenza vaccination activities and vaccination-specific legal frameworks vary by canton and linguistic regions. Future vaccination strategies should consider concerted approaches to optimize their successful implementation.
在瑞士,国家卫生和预防战略的实施由州级监管。迄今为止,尚无详细清单概述 2019/20 年度流感疫苗接种的州级活动和法律框架。
评估瑞士 26 个州在 2019/20 年度流感疫苗接种活动和法律框架。
使用结构化封闭式问卷进行调查。
各州的活动范围广泛,沃州开展了 11 项活动,而格劳宾登州和汝拉州仅开展了 1 项活动。说法语/意大利语的州平均开展的流感疫苗接种活动比德语州多 1.5 倍。26 个州中有 23 个授权药剂师接种流感疫苗。所有州都允许护士在医生的监督下接种疫苗。
流感疫苗接种活动和特定疫苗接种的法律框架因州和语言区而异。未来的疫苗接种策略应考虑采取协调一致的方法,以优化其成功实施。
