“…Out of the 13 studies included in the review (Table 1), nine (69.2%) examined participation in workplace influenza vaccination campaigns [7,8,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23], one (7.7%) a workplace Lyme disease vaccination campaign [24], one (7.7%) a pneumococcal vaccination campaign [25], one (7.7%) a Tdap workplace vaccination campaign [26], and one (7.7%) examined participation in two workplace vaccination campaigns for influenza and Tdap [27]. The majority of the studies, four out of 13 (30.7%), were conducted in the USA [18,19,24,27], one (7.7%) was multicentric and analyzed data globally [25]; the eight remaining studies were from different countries, reported in detail in Table 1.…”

“…Concerning sample size, three (23.0%) of the studies [8,19,27] had a sample of more than 5000 workers, four (30.8%) studies [17,20,21,23] had a sample with more than 1000, but less than 5000 workers, two (15.4%) studies [22,25] had a sample between 500 and 1000 workers, and four (30.8%) studies [7,18,24,26] had a sample of less than 500 workers.

To reduce vaccine-preventable diseases in workers, workplace vaccination campaigns can be implemented on-site. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate adherence to workplace vaccination campaigns. Three databases, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus, were screened systematically for articles in English or Italian addressing participation in an on-site vaccination program by employees. The following data was extracted: authors, year, country, type of vaccine, type of workplace, sample size, vaccination rate. Data on the prevalence of flu vaccination were calculated and pooled using a random-effects model. Thirteen articles were included in the review, ten in the meta-analysis. Most studies were conducted in the USA (30.7%) and most vaccination campaigns were against influenza (69.2%), with a pooled estimate of 42% (95% CI: 0.25–0.60%); participation rate was highly variable, ranging from 88.9% for an influenza vaccination campaign to 5.7% for a Lyme disease vaccination campaign. Offering free on-site vaccination can be a successful tool to ensure adherence to vaccination campaigns and administration of all required doses according to the vaccine administration scheme. The occupational physician can play a key role in implementing workplace campaigns for employee mandatory vaccinations.

“…22 In this study, Tdap or Td is the less recommended vaccine following RZV, and it has been shown in a previous study that the vaccination rate is low among health-care workers. 27 Tdap recommendations to pregnant women were also reported as %61 among gynecologists, and 15% of the participants did not know the vaccine was on the routine immunization schedule. 28 The booster doses are frequently not considered in older adults except for wound management.…”

Immunization is one of the main components of preventive medicine measures. Influenza, pneumococcal, tetanus, and shingles vaccines are recommended for older adults routinely. This study aimed to show the knowledge and attitudes of the physicians to older adults' vaccination schemes. Patients and Methods: An electronic self-reported questionnaire was sent to physicians between March and July 2021 in Turkey. Sociodemographic characteristics, professional experience, area of expertise, and practice setting of the participants were recorded. As multiple-choice questions; the routinely recommended vaccines, and vaccines suggested in their daily practice before and after the COVID-19 pandemic were enquired. Results: A total of 435 participants were included in the study. 43.9% of the patients were primary family physicians, and 36.8% were internists. 63.4% of the participants had reported reviewing the National Vaccination Scheme. 94.5% of the medical doctors indicated that they had recommended any vaccination to their patients. 20.9% of the practitioners could select four or five of the routinely recommended vaccines. Reviewing the National Adult Vaccination Scheme and being an internist were positively related to predicting the recommended vaccines. The recommendation rates of influenza and pneumococcal conjugate (PCV13) were seen at 88% and 78%, respectively. Except for PCV13, recommendation rates of other routine vaccines were decreased after the pandemic. Conclusion: Awareness of routine vaccination schedules should be improved among health-care professionals, and reminders for immunization should be provided periodically in each health-care setting.
