Willingness To Recommend

Abstract Background Most countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region have low influenza vaccination coverage mainly among high risk groups. Advice to receive the influenza vaccine by healthcare workers (hcws) seems to be an important motivator for vaccine acceptance among patients. In this study, we aimed to describe the willingness of Tunisian hcws to recommend the seasonal influenza vaccine to patients and to assess its determinants. Methods A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted in Tunisian primary and secondary healthcare facilities during the 2018-2019 influenza season. A multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the factors associated with the willingness of hcws to recommend the influenza vaccine to patients. Results In the present study, 1231 hcws were included with a mean age of 44.5±9.3 and a sex ratio (Male/Female) equal to 0.25. Among respondents, more than three quarter (79.1%, 95% CI: [76.7-81.3]) declared their willingness to recommend the influenza vaccine to patients if available. In multivariate analysis, belief that influenza vaccine is a severe illness that may lead to death (adj.OR = 2.9, 95% CI: [1.9-4.1]) and previous influenza vaccine uptake among health professionals (adj.OR = 2.4, 95% CI: [1.5-3.9]) were independently associated with the willingness of hcws to recommend the flu vaccine to patients. Conclusions This study showed that hcws with a history of influenza immunization and those who were aware of influenza severity were more likely to be willing to recommend the influenza vaccine to patients. These findings should be considered in future educational programs to enhance hcws' recommendation of influenza vaccine. Key messages Majority of Tunisian healthcare workers declared their willingness to recommend the influenza vaccine to patients. Healthcare workers’ awareness of influenza severity and history of influenza vaccine uptake were associated with a higher willingness to recommend the flu vaccine.
