本研究的目的是改进流感疫苗接种，并确定影响卡塔尔医护人员 (HCW) 拒绝接种疫苗的因素。 2015 年 11 月 1 日至 15 日期间，我们发起了流感疫苗接种活动，为卡塔尔 22 个初级卫生保健公司 (PHCC) 中心的约 4700 名医护人员接种疫苗。我们的目标是为 60% 的医护人员接种疫苗。所有中心都免费提供疫苗，并通过直接沟通、电子邮件和社交媒体网络向员工提供有关该活动和流感疫苗接种重要性的信息。使用拒绝表格将工作人员报告为已接种疫苗或未接种疫苗，其中包括其职业、工作地点以及拒绝接种疫苗的原因。调查答复被总结为比例结果。我们超出了目标，为 77% 的目标人群接种了疫苗。只有 9% 的人拒绝接种疫苗，其余 14% 的人要么正在休假，要么已经接种了疫苗。助手的疫苗使用率最高（98.1%），其次是技术人员（95.2%），药剂师的疫苗使用率最低（73.2%），其次是医生（84%）。在拒绝接种疫苗的人中，34% 的人没有提供任何理由，18% 的人因行为问题拒绝接种，21% 的人因医疗原因拒绝接种。 2015 年免疫接种活动期间，流感疫苗的接种量显着增加。这归功于良好的规划、准备、高水平的沟通，以及在适当的监督和监测下向医护人员提供意识和培训。
The purpose of this study was to improve influenza vaccination, and determine factors influencing vaccine declination among health care workers (HCW) in Qatar. We launched an influenza vaccination campaign to vaccinate around 4700 HCW in 22 Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) centers in Qatar between 1st and 15th of November, 2015. Our target was to vaccinate 60% of all HCW. Vaccine was offered free of charge at all centers, and information about the campaign and the importance of influenza vaccination was provided to employees through direct communication, emails, and social media networks. Staff were reported as vaccinated or non-vaccinated using a declination form that included their occupation, place of work and reasons for declining the vaccine. Survey responses were summarized as proportional outcomes. We exceeded our goal, and vaccinated 77% of the target population. Only 9% declined to take the vaccine, and the remaining 14% were either on leave or had already been vaccinated. Vaccine uptake was highest among aides (98.1%), followed by technicians (95.2%), and was lowest amongst pharmacists (73.2%), preceded by physicians (84%). Of those that declined the vaccine, 34% provided no reason, 18% declined it due to behavioral issues, and 21% declined it due to medical reasons. Uptake of influenza vaccine significantly increased during the 2015 immunization campaign. This is attributed to good planning, preparation, a high level of communication, and providing awareness and training to HCW with proper supervision and monitoring.
