我们的目的是描述在实现更高免疫覆盖率和更及时交付的实践中工作的全科医生的特征。我们对从随机选择的诊所中随机选择的全科医生进行了计算机辅助电话采访。大多数全科医生认为免疫接种很重要，并对自己的免疫知识充满信心，尽管评估显示他们的知识并不完整。少数六周岁的人还太小，无法接种疫苗。更多的全科医生知识和对自己知识的信心与更高的实践免疫覆盖率相关，而在全科医生认为父母访问困难是一个障碍的实践中，免疫接种会更及时。
Our aim was to describe characteristics of GPs working in practices that achieve higher immunization coverage and more timely delivery. We conducted computer-assisted telephone interviews with randomly selected GPs from randomly selected practices. Most GPs believed immunization to be important and were confident about their knowledge of immunization although assessment revealed their knowledge to be incomplete. A minority considered six weeks is too young to immunize. Greater GP knowledge and confidence in their knowledge was associated with higher practice immunization coverage, whereas immunization delivery was more timely at practices where GPs perceived parental access difficulties a barrier.
