Risk factors for vaccine non – uptake among HCPs’ categories
Vaccine non-uptake for* | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P |
---|---|---|
Influenza (2017–18 season) | ||
Age ≤ 45 years | 1.35 (1.08–1.66) | 0.0071 |
Non–physician only | 2.94 (2.09–4.12) | 0.0001 |
Work in hospitals | 1.39 (1.02–1.89) | 0.035 |
Work in hospital B | 3.56 (2.71–4.71) | 0.0001 |
Influenza (last 5 years) | ||
Non-physician only | 2.67 (1.94–3.67) | 0.0001 |
Work in hospitals | 1.84 (1.36–2.48) | 0.0001 |
Work in hospital B | 6.41 (4.92–8.51) | 0.0001 |
Measles †‡ | ||
Age >45 years | 26.74 (17.41–41.06) | 0.0001 |
Work in hospitals | 59.16 (25.81–135.6) | 0.0001 |
Hepatitis B‡ | ||
Age >45 years | 1.36 (1.09-–1.70) | 0.0071 |
Non–physician or nurse | 1.75 (1.38–2.21) | 0.0001 |
Work in primary care | 1.52 (1.15-2.-1) | 0.0027 |
*The dependent variables (no vaccination against influenza for either season 2017–2018 or the last five years, no hepatitis B vaccine uptake or no measles vaccine uptake) were adjusted for sex, age (≤ 45 years old and >45 years old), profession (physicians, nurses, paramedics, other) and workplace (either primary care centers or hospitals).
‡ No vaccine uptake of measles and hepatitis b was evaluated versus any dose of vaccine uptake.
† Analysis of no measles vaccine uptake among the HCPs that reported to be nonimmune to measles.
