“…Although pertussis hospital outbreaks involve only a small number of individuals, they may be very costly due to the recommended investigation and control measures that involve the temporary removal of the professionals from the working environment, the use of prophylactic antibiotics and laboratory tests of infected cases 65 In the United States, pertussis outbreaks in HCPs were reported more than three decades ago 105 and reports of pertussis outbreaks involving HCPs have become increasingly common since the 1990s, especially during pertussis epidemics which occur every three to four years even in vaccinated populations 10,11,66,67,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81 .…”

The aim of this study was to describe recent changes in the epidemiology of pertussis and existing policies regarding recommended and mandatory occupational vaccinations for healthcare professionals (HCPs). The authors carried out an extensive review of references on the PubMed and SciELO databases and the official sites of the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Brazilian Ministry of Health, using the keywords pertussis, vaccines and healthcare professionals. Vaccination against pertussis is recommended for HCPs in the United States, Canada, nine European countries, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Costa Rica, Argentina and Uruguay, and in some countries it is compulsory. In Brazil, only one publication discussing the risk of pertussis among HCPs was found. Considering the reemergence of pertussis and the great number of associated hospitalizations and deaths registered in 2011, it is necessary to review public policies regarding HCP pertussis vaccination, particularly among workers in frequent contact with young babies.

Background Routine influenza vaccination of health care personnel (HCP) can reduce influenza related illness and its potentially serious consequences among HCP and their patients. Influenza vaccination has been routinely recommended for HCP since 1984. Methods Data from the 2013 and 2014 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were analyzed in 2015. The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis procedure was used to estimate the cumulative proportion of HCP reporting 2013–14 season influenza vaccination. Vaccination coverage by work setting and occupation were assessed. Multivariable logistic regression and predictive marginal analyses were conducted to identify factors independently associated with vaccination among HCP. Results Overall, influenza vaccination coverage was 64.9% among HCP aged ≥18 years (95% confidence interval [CI] = 60.5%–69.3%), which was significantly higher compared with non-HCP among the same age group (41.0%; 95% CI = 39.8%–42.1%) (p<0.05). Vaccination coverage was higher among physicians (82.3%) and nurses (77.5%) compared with other types of HCP (range: 50.2% to 65.6%). Coverage was higher among HCP working in hospitals (76.9%) compared with other settings (range: 53.9%–60.2%). Characteristics independently associated with an increased likelihood of vaccination among HCP were higher age, higher education, having more physician contacts, and having health insurance. Having never been married was independently associated with a decreased likelihood of vaccination among HCP. Conclusions Influenza vaccination coverage was higher among HCP than non-HCP but still below the national target of 90%. Vaccination coverage varied widely by occupation type, work settings, and demographic characteristics. Evidence-based interventions such as making vaccine available at no cost at the workplace along with active promotion of vaccination are needed to increase influenza vaccination among HCP in all health-care settings.
