“…A number of studies examined seroprevalence as a correlate of vaccine protection, and varying antibody levels were detected for those who responded as having received specific vaccinations [ 44 , 45 , 52 , 57 , 60 , 61 , 63 , 78 , 83 , 88 , 90 , 91 , 97 , 99 ]. For example, one study observed that, among 200 migrant children, for protection against HBV, only 118 (59%) had anti-HBs ≥1000 UI/L compared to 23 (11%) having no detectable antibodies (<10 IU/L) [ 57 ].…”

Access to Vaccination among Disadvantaged, Isolated and Difficult-to-Reach Communities in the WHO European Region: A Systematic Review

et al. 2022

Vaccination has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. High vaccination coverage rates are required to achieve herd protection against vaccine-preventable diseases. However, limited vaccine access and hesitancy among specific communities represent significant obstacles to this goal. This review provides an overview of critical factors associated with vaccination among disadvantaged groups in World Health Organisation European countries. Initial searches yielded 18,109 publications from four databases, and 104 studies from 19 out of 53 countries reporting 22 vaccine-preventable diseases were included. Nine groups representing the populations of interest were identified, and most of the studies focused on asylum seekers, refugees, migrants and deprived communities. Recall of previous vaccinations received was poor, and serology was conducted in some cases to confirm protection for those who received prior vaccinations. Vaccination coverage was lower among study populations compared to the general population or national average. Factors that influenced uptake, which presented differently at different population levels, included health service accessibility, language and vaccine literacy, including risk perception, disease severity and vaccination benefits. Strategies that could be implemented in vaccination policy and programs were also identified. Overall, interventions specific to target communities are vital to improving uptake. More innovative strategies need to be deployed to improve vaccination coverage among disadvantaged groups.

“…Asylum-seeking children have more mental health problems than the local population (Ehntholt et al, 2018;Hanes et al, 2019;Jensen et al, 2019;Kien et al, 2019;Norredam et al, 2018;Yalın Sapmaz et al, 2017), and they are likely to experience post-traumatic stress disorder (Ehntholt et al, 2018;Jensen et al, 2019;Kien et al, 2019). Other health issues observed among asylum-seeking children include communicable diseases (Hanes et al, 2019;Hirani et al, 2018;Mueller-Hermelink et al, 2018;Perniciaro et al, 2018), noncommunicable diseases (Hanes et al, 2019;Hirani et al, 2018), nutrition and growth concerns (Grammatikopoulou et al, 2019;Hanes et al, 2019;Hirani et al, 2018), physical symptoms (Hanes et al, 2019;Hirani et al, 2018), sexual health issues (Hirani et al, 2018;Wikholm et al, 2020), and dental problems (Hanes et al, 2019). The literature supports a clear need for health care.…”

The number of school-age asylum seekers and refugees worldwide is increasing. Health promotion provided by school nurses can be crucial for the well-being of young asylum seekers, yet research on these nurses’ experiences is limited. This qualitative study aims to describe school nurses’ experiences of providing health promotion to school-age asylum seekers. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 12 school nurses, and inductive content analysis was then used. The results were grouped under the following themes: (1) difficulties in providing health services to school-age asylum seekers, (2) considering the vulnerable circumstances of asylum seekers, (3) the importance of family-centered health promotion, and (4) the importance of time management. School nurses face challenges that stem from individual asylum seekers’ unique circumstances, nursing competency, and the school health care system. To deepen the existing knowledge, further research is needed from the perspective of asylum seekers.
