The research described in this report was conducted to assess potential concerns among hesitant healthcare workers in Europe. It is part of a European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) project entitled ‘Comprehensive expert opinion on motivating hesitant population groups to vaccinate’, managed by the World Health Communication Associates and coordinated by the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. The aim of this research project is to have a better understanding of vaccine hesitancy and safety concerns among healthcare vaccine providers and their patients in Europe and to explore the link and potential influence between the two groups. The following research objectives were defined: Improve our understanding of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare vaccine providers in Europe: shed light on their doubts and concerns over vaccine safety and the reasons behind these doubts. Identify reasons for patient vaccine hesitancy in Europe and investigate how healthcare professionals respond to hesitant patients. The knowledge gained from this study is used to inform the development of a ‘Let’s Talk About Hesitancy’ supplement to the ECDC’s ‘Let’s Talk About Protection’ guide. It will also allow public health professionals in Europe to understand the extent of the problem of vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers and their patients, and to develop more targeted and effective public health measures to prevent and respond to vaccine hesitancy, especially among healthcare professionals. |
