医疗保健专业的学生是医疗保健工作者的一个特定的亚群，因为他们往往没有被医疗保健机构的职业医学系统识别，因为他们在医院病房和大学之间共享时间。然而，由于他们与病人有密切和重复的接触，他们应遵守与受雇的医护人员相同的疫苗接种建议。职业免疫建议可能因国家而异，但始终包括疫苗可预防的疾病，这些疾病可能导致医疗保健工作者或患者的医院外喙和/或致命结果。研究得出的结论是，卫生保健专业学生的疫苗覆盖率太低，他们往往没有意识到自己有可能成为虚弱患者的感染媒介。应努力对医科和护士学生进行疫苗教育，使他们相信免疫接种的效用，并使他们有更多的机会在医院和大学接受职业疫苗接种。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Healthcare students are a specific subgroup of healthcare workers as they are often not identified by the occupational medicine systems in healthcare facilities, because of their shared time between hospital wards and universities. Nevertheless, they should comply with the same vaccination recommendations as employed healthcare workers because they are in close and repeated contact with patients. Occupational immunization recommendations may vary between countries, but always include vaccine-preventable diseases that might lead to nosocomial outbeaks and/or fatal outcomes for healthcare workers or patients. Studies conclude that vaccine coverage is too low in healthcare students, and that they are often not aware of their possibility to be vectors of infections to frail patients. Efforts should be made to educate medical and nursing students on vaccines, to convince them of the utility of immunization and to offer them an increased access to occupational vaccinations in hospitals and universities.
