多项研究报告称，医护人员 (HCW) 感染流感可导致院内疫情暴发。医护人员每年都有可能感染流感，并且可能继续工作，从而助长了病毒的传播。在之前的流感季节，巴勒莫大学医院为在巴勒莫大学医院工作的医护人员组织了不同的策略，例如关于流感和流感疫苗接种的信息干预、“现场”疫苗接种周、通过专门的网络和社交媒体页面的沟通策略以及强制性知情异议表。然而，医护人员中观察到的疫苗接种率有所提高，但仍远低于公共卫生当局建议的 75%。在对医护人员实行强制疫苗接种政策的国家观察到的覆盖率水平可能表明意大利采取这一策略来提高流感疫苗接种的依从性。
Several studies have reported that influenza infections in healthcare workers (HCWs) can lead to nosocomial outbreaks. HCWs can potentially be infected with influenza every year, and may continue to work, encouraging the spread of the virus. Different strategies, such as informative interventions on influenza and influenza vaccination, 'onsite' vaccination weeks, communicative strategies through dedicated web and social media pages, and mandatory informed dissent form, were organized for HCWs working at the University Hospital of Palermo, during previous influenza seasons. However, the increased vaccination rates observed among HCWs still remain far from the 75% recommended by Public Health Authorities. The level of coverage observed in countries with mandatory vaccination policies for HCWs, could suggest the adoption of this strategy for increase influenza vaccination adherence in Italy.
