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.
