Major Elsevier Journal: VACCINE:Peer Reviewed Study: Why are Nurses

becoming Anti-vaccinists?

Background: Background: In most countries rates of immunizations of

health care workers with recommended vaccines

are not satisfactory. Objectives: To identify reasons behind the low

rates of compliance of Israeli nurses in Mother and Child

Healthcare Centers (MCHC) with an official request for pertussis

vaccination. Methods: Three focus groups were conducted. Qualitative

analysis identified themes that could explain the nurses’ non-compliance.

Results: Trust in health authorities was low, mainly following the A/H1N1

purported influenza pandemic. In addition, nurses did not see the

importance of being role models for the public and demanded the autonomy

to decide whether to receive vaccinations. The nurses differentiated

between their role asnurses and their personal life, expressed fear of

new vaccines and exhibited low levels of risk perception. Misconceptions

regarding vaccinations were expressed by the nurses. Conclusions:

Antivaccinationist ideas were expressed by MCHC nurses and these

attitudes may have led to non-compliance with vaccination

guidelines. Read study…
