A cross-sectional qualitative pilot study was designed to assess the nurses' perspectives regarding a school-located influenza vaccination pilot program. The program was developed during the 2022-2023 season in the Region of Murcia (an autonomous community of Spain) targeting the 3- to 4-year population in 24 public schools, using the intranasal Fluenz® Tetra vaccine. School nurses unanimously recognized their professional role not only in administering the vaccine, but also in the development and implementation of general aspects of the pilot program and reported that the experience was very positive. Nursing professionals should be fully involved in providing information to parents about the main aspects of influenza infection and benefits of having their children vaccinated against seasonal influenza. Nurses also advocated that the flu vaccination for children should begin at the same time as vaccination for adults, with vaccination planning completely integrated into the school schedule.: The study results could guide healthcare authorities in facilitating the implementation of school-located influenza vaccination programs and increase immunization of preschool children against flu.
一项横断面定性试点研究旨在评估护士对学校流感疫苗接种试点项目的看法。该项目于2022 - 2023年流感季在穆尔西亚地区（西班牙的一个自治区）开展，针对24所公立学校中3至4岁的儿童群体，使用鼻喷式Fluenz® Tetra疫苗。学校护士一致认可他们不仅在接种疫苗方面发挥专业作用，还在试点项目总体方面的制定和实施中发挥作用，并表示这一经历非常积极。护理专业人员应充分参与向家长提供有关流感感染主要方面以及让孩子接种季节性流感疫苗益处的信息。护士们还主张儿童流感疫苗接种应与成人疫苗接种同时开始，且疫苗接种计划应完全融入学校日程安排。该研究结果可为卫生保健当局推动学校流感疫苗接种项目的实施及提高学龄前儿童流感免疫率提供指导。
