“…Another possible reason may be the lack of knowl edge about vaccination among pediatricians themselves. According to our previous research, only 56 % of pedia tricians considered their knowledge about vaccination as adequate [7]. Doctors received vaccine information mainly via professional medical literature (82.6 %), at con ferences and congresses (63 %), and via professional Inter net sources (51.6 %) [5].…”

Background. The vaccine preventable diseases outbreaks have become more frequent in recent decades and the lack of global vaccine awareness has been increasing and deteriorating vaccine compliance. The aim. To assess the attitude towards vaccination of parents from India and Russia. Methods. 1620 parents from Russia (Irkutsk city) and 214 parents from India (Kerala state) took part in the international cross-sectional multicenter study via survey method. Results. Parents from both countries showed good adherence to vaccination, only 1 % of Indians and 2 % of Russians did not vaccinate their children. More than 90 % of Russians took information from pediatricians compared with other sources with a prevalence of pediatricians working in the public health system 91.7 % (95 % CI: 90.2–92.9), whereas only 50 % of Indians were informed about vaccination from pediatricians (p < 0.0001). The main source of vaccine information for Indian parents was Internet (52.8 %; 95 % CI: 46.1–59.3) and mass-media (83.6 %; 95% CI: 78.1–87.9), whereas Russians resorted to this source much less (0.3 %; 95 % CI: 0.1–0.7 for Internet; and 4.3 %; 95 % CI: 3.4–5.4 for mass-media; p < 0.0001). Interestingly, while the vast majority of Russians received information about vaccination from a pediatrician, 71.2 % (95 % CI: 68.9–73.3) wanted to know more. Indians suffered from a lack of information too, but not as much (63.1 %; 95 % CI: 56.4–69.3; p = 0.01). Conclusion. Despite of a good attitude to vaccination of parents from India and Russia the lack of vaccine information was registered.

Background. The commitment to vaccination of outpatient doctors is one of the factors that affects patients’ confidence in preventive vaccinations and, as a result, the incidence of controlled infections. Unfortunately, emotionally colored information is currently spreading among the population faster than scientifically proven facts all over the world.The aim of this study is the examine of the level of knowledge and attitude to vaccination of doctors in one of the children’s polyclinics in Moscow.Methods. An anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted among medical doctors of different specialties who expressed their attitude to various aspects of immunoprophylaxis and demonstrated knowledge in this field. Results. The survey demonstrated a positive attitude of respondents towards immunization, while some of them showed a cautious attitude towards the effectiveness and safety of vaccines, misconceptions (erroneous assumptions), increased susceptibility to “myths” about preventive vaccinations.Conclusion. The level of knowledge of medical doctors on vaccine prevention within a single health care institution range from insufficient training, including misconceptions, to a high level of knowledge and commitment regarding immunization. It is necessary to regularly maintain current theoretical knowledge of doctors and consolidate it in practice.

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has become a strength test for the national healthcare systems and medical professional communities. The pandemic gave a revealing insight into the provision of resuscitation care, a shortage of personnel and protective equipment, and the lack of effective drugs to treat a novel, poorly studied infection. Objective. To identify the attitude towards immunoprophylaxis in general and against the coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in particular among medical students and pediatricians and to assess the dynamics of compliance to vaccination in these groups. Materials and methods. The survey was conducted among the 5-6-year students of the medical and pediatric faculties of the Ryazan State Medical University (RSMU) of the Ministry of Health of Russia in 2017 and 2021, the groups of students included 250 and 225 people, respectively. The children’s polyclinic pediatrician groups included 45 and 60 people in 2017 and 2021, respectively. The survey was conducted anonymously, face-to-face, and without compulsion. The identical questionnaires asked students 13 questions and pediatricians 10 questions with suggested response options. Results and discussion. The percentage of students who correctly named the number of vaccine preventable diseases in the National Immunisation Schedule has significantly decreased; the number of students who were not aware of the availability of the chickenpox vaccine has increased by 1.9 times. In 2021, the number of students giving priority to domestic vaccines decreased by 2.3 times, and the number of those choosing imported drugs as better and safer ones has increased by 1.5 times. In 2021, the number of senior students who were vaccinated against influenza doubled as compared to 2017. At the same time, the students agreed to recommend their patients to be vaccinated against influenza 1.4 times more often. During the 2021 pediatrician survey, the number of respondents, who preferred imported vaccines as better and safer ones, increased by 4 times, and the number of domestic vaccine advocates decreased by 1.8 times. In addition, the number of pediatricians who did not decide on this issue has increased by 9.8 times. Сonclusion. The results of the survey showed that there is still a lack of compliance to vaccine prophylaxis in certain groups of the professional medical community. The student cohort showed a decrease in knowledge and confidence in the vaccine prophylaxis. Among practitioners, there has been a positive trend towards an increase in the percentage of pediatricians, who considered it expedient to vaccinate children with chronic pathology.
