Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the current situation of influenza vaccination, vaccination willingness, recommended behavior and influencing factors of health care workers (HCWs) under the policy of free vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 3 167 medical staff from 8 hospitals in Nanshan district of Shenzhen city based on a web-based questionnaire platform. The logistic regression was used to analyze the data. Results: The influenza vaccination rate in HCWs was 23.97%, and the recommendation rate was 25.69% from 2019 to 2020. Staff with high professional titles, high academic qualifications, and positive awareness about influenza vaccine had a higher vaccination rate. The main reasons for not recommending influenza vaccine were the fear of patients' misunderstanding of commercial benefits, fear of possible disputes caused by recommended vaccination, lack of national or institutional requirements for recommended influenza vaccine, and fear of adverse reactions of influenza vaccines. Conclusion: Under the free policy, the influenza vaccination rate and recommendation rate of HCWs in Nanshan district of Shenzhen city are relatively low. Strengthening health education on influenza and related knowledge, publicizing the policy of free influenza vaccination, providing convenient vaccination services and promoting the construction of relevant policies and regulations are the key to improve the influenza vaccination rate and recommendation rate among HCWs.
