          Abstract

          Con el objetivo de conocer la cobertura y las barreras contra la vacunación antigripal, cuya aceptación estimábamos baja entre el personal de salud (PDS) se realizó un estudio transversal, descriptivo, con la metodología de encuesta, autoadministrada con opciones cerradas para su respuesta. Se utilizó una muestra de 142 PDS integrantes del Hospital Pasteur (MSP-ASSE), aleatorizada y adecuada para extraer conclusiones estadísticamente válidas. Los resultados mostraron que 87/142 (61,3%) de los encuestados conocía la campaña de vacunación antigripal en el Hospital, reconocieron tener indicación de vacunación antigripal 124/142 (87,3%) a pesar de lo cual se vacunaron en 2011 79/142 (55,6%) y en 2012 53/142 (37,3%). Los vacunados en 2012 respondieron como motivos principales de adherencia a la campaña protegerse a sí mismo de la enfermedad, pertenecer al PDS y proteger a su familia. De los no vacunados en 2012 respondieron como motivos principales: percepción de nunca haber contraído gripe, miedo a efectos adversos y descrédito al efecto inmunizador de las vacunas. Se confirmó la baja tasa de vacunación del PDS (37,3% en año 2012) a pesar de reconocer la indicación y tener accesibilidad a la misma; se identificaron como barreras las percepciones erróneas acerca de la vacunación.

          In order to meet the coverage and barriers to influenza vaccination, which we estimated low acceptance among health personnel (PDS) a cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted with the survey methodology, self-administered with closed options for response. A sample of 142 members of the PDS Hospital Pasteur (MSP-ASSE) was used, and suitable for random draw statistically valid conclusions. The results showed that 87/142 (61.3%) of respondents knew the influenza vaccination campaign in the Hospital, recognized indication of influenza vaccination have 124/142 (87.3%) despite which were vaccinated in 2011 79/142 (55.6%) and in 2012 53/142 (37.3%). Vaccinated in 2012 responded as main reasons for adherence to the campaign to protect yourself from disease, belong to the PDS and protect your family. Unvaccinated 2012 responded as main reasons: perception of never having contracted flu, fear of adverse effects and discredit the immunizing effect of vaccines. Low vaccination rate PDS (37.3% in 2012) despite recognizing the indication and have access to the same was confirmed; were identified as barriers misperceptions about vaccination.

          Pneumonia and respiratory failure from swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) in Mexico.

          In late March 2009, an outbreak of a respiratory illness later proved to be caused by novel swine-origin influenza A (H1N1) virus (S-OIV) was identified in Mexico. We describe the clinical and epidemiologic characteristics of persons hospitalized for pneumonia at the national tertiary hospital for respiratory illnesses in Mexico City who had laboratory-confirmed S-OIV infection, also known as swine flu. We used retrospective medical chart reviews to collect data on the hospitalized patients. S-OIV infection was confirmed in specimens with the use of a real-time reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction assay. From March 24 through April 24, 2009, a total of 18 cases of pneumonia and confirmed S-OIV infection were identified among 98 patients hospitalized for acute respiratory illness at the National Institute of Respiratory Diseases in Mexico City. More than half of the 18 case patients were between 13 and 47 years of age, and only 8 had preexisting medical conditions. For 16 of the 18 patients, this was the first hospitalization for their illness; the other 2 patients were referred from other hospitals. All patients had fever, cough, dyspnea or respiratory distress, increased serum lactate dehydrogenase levels, and bilateral patchy pneumonia. Other common findings were an increased creatine kinase level (in 62% of patients) and lymphopenia (in 61%). Twelve patients required mechanical ventilation, and seven died. Within 7 days after contact with the initial case patients, a mild or moderate influenza-like illness developed in 22 health care workers; they were treated with oseltamivir, and none were hospitalized. S-OIV infection can cause severe illness, the acute respiratory distress syndrome, and death in previously healthy persons who are young to middle-aged. None of the secondary infections among health care workers were severe. 2009 Massachusetts Medical Society

            Seasonal influenza vaccination predicts pandemic H1N1 vaccination uptake among healthcare workers in three countries.

            The aim of this study was to identify the common barriers and facilitators for acceptance of pandemic influenza vaccination across different countries. This study utilized a standardized, anonymous, self-completed questionnaire-based survey recording the demographics and professional practice, previous experience and perceived risk and severity of influenza, infection control practices, information of H1N1 vaccination, acceptance of the H1N1 vaccination and reasons of their choices and opinions on mandatory vaccination. Hospital-based doctors, nurses and allied healthcare workers in Hong Kong (HK), Singapore (SG) and Leicester, United Kingdom (UK) were recruited. A total of 6318 (HK: 5743, SG: 300, UK: 275) questionnaires were distributed, with response rates of 27.1% (HK), 94.7% (SG) and 94.5% (UK). The uptake rates for monovalent 2009 pandemic H1N1 vaccine were 13.5% (HK), 36.2% (SG) and 41.3% (UK). The single common factor associated with vaccine acceptance across all sites was having seasonal influenza vaccination in 2009. In UK and HK, overestimation of side effect reduced vaccination acceptance; and fear of side effect was a significant barrier in all sites. In HK, healthcare workers with more patient contact were more reluctant to accept vaccination. Drivers for vaccination in UK and HK were concern about catching the infection and following advice from health authority. Only a small proportion of respondents agreed with mandatory pandemic influenza vaccination (HK: 25% and UK: 42%), except in Singapore where 75.3% were in agreement. Few respondents (<5%) chose scientific publications as their primary source of information, but this group was more likely to receive vaccination. The acceptance of pandemic vaccine among healthcare workers was poor (13-41% of respondents). Breaking barriers to accept seasonal influenza vaccination should be part of the influenza pandemic preparedness plan. Mandatory vaccination even during pandemic is likely to arouse substantial discontent. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

              Influenza vaccination coverage among hospital personnel over three consecutive vaccination campaigns (2001-2002 to 2003-2004).

              This study was carried out to assess influenza vaccination coverage among hospital personnel and the impact of health promotion campaigns, within the hospital, designed to increase vaccination coverage over three consecutive vaccination campaigns (2001-2002 to 2003-2004). The health promotion tool used in the 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 were informative posters distributed throughout the hospital. In the 2003-2004 season, the recommendation was also published in the internal bulletin and Web site of the hospital. In addition, a physician and a nurse from the Department of Preventive Medicine visited all departments offering vaccination in the work place. The overall vaccination coverage in the 2001-2002 campaign was 16% with coverage of 11.5% in nurses and 15% in physicians. In the 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 campaigns the overall vaccination coverage was 21% and 40%, respectively (p<0.01). Staff physicians and resident physicians reached 60 and 42% coverage rates in the 2003-2004 campaign, but coverage in nurses and nursing assistant remained around 30% (p<0.01). In summary, influenza vaccination coverage among hospital based healthcare personnel increased significantly during the last three seasons, however, it still remains low despite active attempts at promoting influenza vaccination.
