Objective:
To learn the knowledge,attitude and practice(KAP)of primary healthcare workers on influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine in Xiuzhou District of Jiaxing,and to provide basis for vaccination of influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine.
Methods:
From November 2018 to January 2019,the primary healthcare workers from eight community health service centers in Xiuzhou District were selected by multi-staged random sampling method. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the KAP of influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine among primary healthcare workers. Logistic regression analysis was employed to select the influencing factors for vaccination and recommendation behaviors of primary healthcare workers.
Results:
Totally 105 healthcare workers(95.45%)completed the survey. Among them,86(81.90%)and 76(72.38%)workers believed influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine effective;87(82.85%)and 88(83.81%)workers believed the two vaccines safe;82(78.10%)and 58(55.24%)workers knew the vaccination procedures;58(55.24%)and 34(32.38%)workers knew the key recommended population of vaccines;77(73.33%)workers knew that the vaccine costs could be paid by medical insurance. The vaccination rate of influenza or(and)pneumococcal vaccine among the respondents was 27.62%,and the recommendation rate was 46.67%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that healthcare workers who were female(OR=7.250,95%CI:1.388-37.883),believed the two vaccines effective(OR=4.390,95%CI:1.167-16.515),believed the two vaccines safe(OR=11.977,95%CI:2.417-59.343)and knew the payment method of vaccine cost(OR=11.945,95%CI:2.924-48.793)were more likely to vaccinate;healthcare workers who majored in public health(OR=2.641,95%CI:1.338-5.214),believed the two vaccines effective(OR=6.944,95%CI:1.655-29.134),knew the key recommended population of vaccines(OR=4.380,95%CI:1.125-17.053),had vaccinated the two vaccines(OR=7.902,95%CI:1.693-36.877)were more likely to recommend.
Conclusion
Primary healthcare workers in Xiuzhou District have less awareness of influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumonia vaccine,then have lower vaccination rate(27.62%)and recommendation rate(46.67%).

Objective:
To investigate the coverage of rotavirus vaccination among children under five years in Xiuzhou District of Jiaxing City, so as to provide insights into rotaviral diarrhea control.
Methods:
The rotavirus vaccination data of children aged two months to five years were extracted from the vaccination clinics of eight township hospitals and community health service centers through the Zhejiang vaccination information system. The coverage of rotavirus vaccination was analyzed among children with different genders, ages, types of vaccines and doses of vaccination.
Results:
Totally 32 752 children were included, and the coverage of rotavirus vaccination was 47.09%. The coverage of rotavirus vaccination was significantly higher in boys than in girls ( 47.65% vs. 46.46%, P<0.05 ), and a higher vaccination rate was seen in children with local household registration than in those without ( 56.76% vs. 38.75%, P<0.05 ). The vaccination rates of monovalent and pentavalent rotavirus vaccines were 36.90% and 10.18%, respectively. Totally 26 982 doses of rotavirus vaccines were vaccinated, with a mean dose of ( 0.84±1.02 ) per capita, and the vaccination rates of one, two and three doses were 20.75%, 17.37% and 8.96%, respectively. The median age was 6.00 months ( interquartile range, 3.00 months ) among children vaccinated with the first dose.
Conclusions
The coverage of rotavirus vaccination and full-dose vaccination are low among children under five in Xiuzhou District, with monovalent rotavirus vaccines predominant. Intensified rotavirus vaccination is therefore recommended.
