Doctors, as with all healthcare workers, are a specific risk group due to a high probability of contact with contagious pathogens. An online survey was conducted among Polish doctors to establish their use of protective vaccination to decrease their personal risk of infection. The online survey was conducted using questions about medics' vaccination decisions and approaches. The results revealed that immunization against VPDs for most participants was not adequate based on recommendations or developments in vaccinology. To increase vaccination as a prophylactic method among doctors, especially those not involved in the immunization of patients, an educational campaign is demanded. As non-immunized medics are at risk themselves and are also a threat to the safety of patients, legal changes and the monitoring of vaccine acceptance and perception among medics are required.
医生与所有医护工作者一样，由于极有可能接触传染性病原体，属于特定的高危风险群体。本研究通过在线调查的方式，针对波兰医生展开调查，旨在了解其是否通过预防接种来降低个人感染风险。在线调查主要围绕医护人员的接种决策和方法展开。结果表明，根据疫苗接种学的建议或发展，大多数参与者的疫苗预防疾病接种并不充分。为了增加医生（尤其是不参与患者免疫接种的医生）将预防接种作为一种预防方法，需要开展一项教育活动。由于未接种疫苗的医务人员自身面临风险，而且还会威胁到患者的安全，因此需要进行法律改革，并监测医务人员对疫苗的接受程度和认知。
