“…The explanation for these differences requires a more in-depth study on the teaching programs and the teaching methodology utilized, which are not the subject of the present study. However, the recent literature shows that education programs can be useful for disseminating knowledge and correcting information that is destined towards vaccination adherence [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Health professionals are the most influential and main sources of information about vaccines for the general population, as they are regarded as role models by patients and society. The objective of the present study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of a group of university Nursing students about vaccines, as well as their sources of information and their education needs. A cross-sectional study was performed through a questionnaire (55 items) provided to Nursing students at two Spanish universities. A total of 1122 students participated in the study. The mean score obtained for knowledge about vaccines was 44.6 ± 4.3, and for attitudes towards vaccines, it was 37.2 ± 3.9. Hepatitis B (94.7%) and the Flu (89%) are the two main vaccines they should receive as health workers. The main source of information was the family environment (65.6%). Most of them considered that post-graduate education about vaccines should be provided by academic entities (universities, 62.7%). Among the health professionals, Nurses (85.5%) must be better educated and trained on the subject of vaccines. It is therefore necessary to delve into and complete the nurses’ training on vaccines, to educate them about the risks at the individual level, and their decisive role as promoters of the vaccination strategy for the general population. Universities must become the leaders in vaccine education and training.

“…Not being in a risk category is the main reason for not being vaccinated among the students at our university hospital, who showed an accordance of 16.4%; a higher percentage (39.9%) was observed in a study conducted among the students of the Careggi University of Florence [16]. Furthermore, a general lack of knowledge about influenza and vaccines was found; recent literature demonstrate that training programs could be useful to spread knowledge and correct information aimed to improve vaccination adherence [17][18][19][20].…”

Influenza vaccination among healthcare workers may reduce morbidity and protect fragile patients. Most of the evidence concerning the vaccine hesitancy of healthcare workers reported lack of knowledge and wrong attitude. The aims of this study were to explore the knowledge and attitudes about influenza vaccination among master’s degree students in Nursing and Midwifery, and to evaluate the effectiveness of their involvement in the hospital vaccination campaign in order to increase intention to receive immunization. The students of nurses and midwives were involved in the vaccination sessions of the 2018–19 hospital campaign. They were recruited to complete an online survey. Students of the 2nd year (involved in the vaccination campaign) and the 1st year (not involved) were compared. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed for data analysis. Students who intend to receive influenza vaccination in the following year registered a percentage of 83.6% and showed an overall attitude of 66.8%. The involvement of the students in the vaccination campaign led to a significant increase in their positive vaccination attitude (80.9% vs. 87.0%) and in their intention to receive flu vaccination in the following year (67.7% vs. 100%). A positive attitude towards vaccinations was observed by nurses and midwives. Their involvement in the planning and activities during the vaccination campaign could positively influence their opinions and intention to receive vaccination.

“…Most studies examining interventions addressing vaccine confidence in healthcare focus on influenza [ 15–23 ]. Interventions that increase vaccine uptake in healthcare focus on increasing accessibility [ 16 ], educational activities and campaigns [ 17–20 ], and organization changes including incentives and policy making [ 21–23 ]. Many of the studies either do not elucidate the healthcare roles of participants or focus exclusively on providers.…”

Background In the third quarter of 2021, government entities enacted vaccine requirements across multiple employment sectors, including healthcare. Experience from previous vaccination campaigns within healthcare emphasize the need to translate community modalities of vaccine outreach and education that partner with BIPOC stakeholders to increase vaccine confidence broadly. Methods This was an observational feasibility study conducted from August through October 2021, that deployed and measured the effect of a multimodal approach to increasing vaccine uptake in healthcare employees. Vaccine data was acquired through the Center for Disease Control Immunization Information Systems across Oregon and Washington. Rates of complete vaccination prior to the intervention were compared to rates after as a measure of feasibility of this intervention. This data was subdivided by race/ethnicity, age, gender, and job class. Complete vaccination was defined as completion of a two-dose mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine series or a one-dose adenoviral vector SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Results Overall pre-intervention and post-intervention complete vaccination rates were 83.7% and 93.5%, respectively. Of those employees that identified as a certain race, Black employees demonstrated the greatest percentage difference increase, 18.5% (pre-intervention, 72.1%, post-intervention, 90.6%), followed by Hispanic employees, 14.1% (pre-intervention, 79.4%, post-intervention, 93.5%) and employees who identify as two or more races, 13.9% (pre-intervention, 78.7%, post-intervention, 92.6%) Conclusion We found that a multimodal approach to improving vaccination uptake in employees was feasible. For organizations addressing vaccine requirements for their workforce, we recommend a multimodal strategy to increase vaccine confidence and uptake.
