Vaccination Recommendation

Introduction: Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious disease among healthcare workers (HCWs). Although HCWs are recommended to receive vaccination, the vaccination rates have been low. We sought to investigate the effect of HCWs’ vaccination recommendation program by the types of enforcement and influencing factors on compliance, with the aim of enhancing their immunity. Methodology: First and second interventions were carried out. During the first intervention, vaccinations were recommended through official documents. Hepatitis B vaccination was mandatory. Diphtheria toxoid, acellular pertussis (Tdap) and Hepatitis A vaccinations were recommended without financial support. MMR and varicella vaccinations were recommended with fees for the antibody test were covered by the hospital. One-to-one consultation (OC) regarding vaccination was held in the second intervention. Aside from the OC, the second intervention followed the same procedure as the first intervention for the antibody tests and vaccination, but differed in that pertussis vaccination fees were covered. Results: The immunization rates for infectious diseases were greater after the second intervention than the first intervention. The rate of immunized HCWs with hepatitis B virus was 100% at the end of the second intervention. The greatest increase in immunization rates from the first to the second intervention was that for pertussis, and the second greatest was that for hepatitis A. Age and working units were influencing factors on hepatitis A vaccine compliance. Conclusions: In order to increase vaccination rates, efforts must be made to deliver information to individual HCWs through OC as well as financial support including a mandatory policy.

Introduction: The Blue Code practice provides increase in survival rates and decrease in the rate of permanent sequelae after cardiac arrest. There are issues that healthcare workers should pay attention to in the Code Blue practice. Aim The primary purpose of this survey study is to determine the knowledge levels of physicians and nurses about the Code Blue and cardiopulmonary resuscitation in 6 centres. The secondary aim is to determine the solutions that can be made to eliminate these deficiencies. Methods After the approval of the Faculty Ethics Committee, Mersin University Faculty of Medicine, Adana Baskent Turgut Noyan Training and Research Hospital, Dokuz Eylül Univ. Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine, Gulhane Training and Research Hospital, Manisa Celal Bayar Univ. Faculty of Medicine, except for the doctors and technicians of the Department of Anaesthesiology and Reanimation and the healthcare professionals working in the intensive care units, the doctors and nurses working in other departments were asked to answer the questions in the questionnaire via the internet with the questionnaire form stated in Appendix 1. Results A total of 415 participants responded the survey. Of them, 45.8% were nurses, 24.8% residents, 23.3% faculty members, 5.4% specialist doctors and 0.7% general practitioners. Totally 86.6% of the participants knew the Code Blue number. To the question "What is the Code Blue?", 92.7% of the participants gave the correct answer to his question. "Do you hesitate to intervene when you encounter a patient requiring emergency intervention?" 25.9% of the participants answered "Yes" to the question. "Is there a form about Code Blue in your clinic?" 41% answered "No" to the question. Conclusion According to the results of the survey we conducted, we are of the opinion that healthcare workers have insufficient knowledge about the Code Blue. In order to solve these problems, it would be appropriate to direct healthcare professionals to both in-hospital and external training programs.

Abstract Background The percentage of healthcare workers that are vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 in Somalia remains unknown. The main purpose of our study is to determine the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination rate among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia. Methods The design of the study is cross-sectional which was undertaken to assess the vaccination rate of healthcare workers in Mogadishu Somali Turkish Training and Research Hospital from September 1 to September 20, 2021. A total number of 210 healthcare workers have participated in this study. The data were collected using a questionnaire. Results Out of 210 healthcare workers that have enrolled in the study 56.2% (n=118) were males. The mean age of the participants was 28.23 with SD ± 2.9. The most abundant age group in our study was 18-27 years with 53.8% (n=113). According to the participant’s profession, the doctors were the commonest participant with 48.6% (n=102). The SARS-CoV-2 vaccination level of the healthcare workers in Mogadishu Somali Turkish Training and Research Hospital was found to be 20% (n=42). 26.2% of the males that participated in this study were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 while only 12% of females were vaccinated. The study found that there is a significant correlation between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and gender with p value<.05. The study also revealed that there is a negative correlation between age and being vaccination against Covid-19 disease with p value <.01. 30% (n=31) of the doctors, 5.6% (n=4) of nurses, 14.2% (n=14) of radiology technicians, 30.7% (n=4) of anesthesia technicians, and 10% (n=1) of laboratory stuffs were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. The reasons for SARS-CoV-2 vaccine hesitancy were fear towards the vaccine complications 58% (n=97), followed by believed that vaccine will not be beneficial, lack of opportunity, no reason, and avoiding for religious or social reasons in 23% (n=39), 8.3% (n=14), 9% (n=15), 1.7% (n=3), respectively. Conclusion We found that only 20% of the healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Somalia were vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 infection. This is an emergency public health situation as it will put the healthcare workers and the patients at risk for developing Covid 19 disease.
