To examine the effects of a university's health vaccination initiative in increasing vaccination rates among international students/scholars in the United States. The vaccination initiative included: increasing vaccination opportunities by holding a pre-registration event, providing vaccine recommendations from healthcare professionals including a bilingual health interpreter, implementing campus-based marketing strategies, sending reminders using social media, and offering free and affordable vaccines. Total 575 international students/scholars attended from 2016 to 2019 ( = 118, 163, 193, and 101, respectively), showing an increase compared to 2015. The most common vaccines administered were for influenza, human papillomavirus (HPV), tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis (Tdap), and Hepatitis A. Slightly less than one-quarter of participants received three or more vaccines. More women than men received HPV vaccine. Participants shared they would not have been vaccinated without this initiative and wished for more vaccination events. Future efforts are needed to implement this initiative across universities to further evaluate its effectiveness.
为了考察美国某大学的健康接种计划对提高国际学生/学者疫苗接种率的影响。该接种计划包括：通过举办预注册活动增加接种机会，提供包括双语健康口译员在内的医疗专业人员的疫苗建议，实施基于校园的营销策略，利用社交媒体发送提醒，并提供免费和负担得起的疫苗。2016 年至 2019 年共有 575 名国际学生/学者参加（ = 118、163、193 和 101），与 2015 年相比有所增加。接种的最常见疫苗包括流感、人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）、破伤风、白喉和无细胞百日咳（Tdap）以及甲型肝炎。略低于四分之一的参与者接种了三种或更多疫苗。接种 HPV 疫苗的女性多于男性。参与者表示，如果没有这项计划，他们不会接种疫苗，并希望有更多的疫苗接种活动。未来需要在各大学实施这一计划，以进一步评估其效果。
