医療従事者にインフルエンザワクチン接種キャンペーン

　米国、カナダでは、医療従事者のインフルエンザワクチン接種率は、50％以下と低いようです。医療従事者に強制的にインフルエンザワクチンの接種を５年間行い、98％以上の摂取率を維持したVirginia Mason Medical Centerの報告。

・日本の医療従事者の接種率は、50％よりは高いと思いますが、促進のヒントがあるかも知れません。

・病院全体のキャンペーンの様子がうかがえます

Mandatory Influenza Vaccination of Healthcare Workers: A 5‐Year Study

Background.The rate of influenza vaccination among healthcare workers (HCWs) is low, despite a good rationale and strong recommendations for vaccination from many health organizations.

Objective.To increase influenza vaccination rates by instituting the first mandatory influenza vaccination program for HCWs.

Design and setting.A 5‐year study (from 2005 to 2010) at Virginia Mason Medical Center, a tertiary care, multispecialty medical center in Seattle, Washington, with approximately 5,000 employees.

Methods.All HCWs of the medical center were required to receive influenza vaccination. HCWs who were granted an accommodation for medical or religious reasons were required to wear a mask at work during influenza season. The main outcome measure was rate of influenza vaccination among HCWs.

Results.In the first year of the program, there were a total of 4,703 HCWs, of whom 4,588 (97.6%) were vaccinated, and influenza vaccination rates of more than 98% were sustained over the subsequent 4 years of our study. Less than 0.7% of HCWs were granted an accommodation for medical or religious reasons and were required to wear a mask at work during influenza season, and less than 0.2% of HCWs refused vaccination and left Virginia Mason Medical Center.

Conclusion.A mandatory influenza vaccination program for HCWs is feasible, results in extremely high vaccination rates, and can be sustained over the course of several years.
