A global perspective of vaccination of healthcare personnel against measles: Systematic review
2014, VaccineCitation Excerpt :Evidence of measles immunity is also essential for interpreting data on measles vaccine coverage among healthcare personnel. With rare exception [143,144], most of the articles we reviewed which reported on vaccination coverage did not describe whether healthcare personnel had other evidence of measles immunity, making it impossible to assess true vaccination coverage and the potential numbers of susceptible healthcare personnel. These issues also complicated interpreting studies on measles susceptibility in healthcare personnel; while some studies were comprehensive and representative in testing all or almost all healthcare personnel irrespective of evidence of measles immunity, many studies did not provide details regarding the subset of healthcare personnel tested.
Obligatory occupational health check increases vaccination rates among medical students
2008, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :In 2001 Radon et al. reported that the vaccination status of students of the medical school in Munich, Germany was unsatisfactory.15 Schmid et al. also confirmed relevant vaccination gaps in medical students at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg.7 These results indicate that even in medical students and physicians, vaccination gaps are common; academic knowledge alone is clearly insufficient to modify behaviour.
Needlestick injuries and other occupational exposures to body fluids amongst employees and medical students of a German university: incidence and follow-up
2007, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :An occupational health medical at the beginning of the pre-clinical training is helpful for making individuals aware of occupational risks, immunization policies and the importance of universal safety precautions. In addition, advice regarding the management and follow-up of OEB is essential.13,14 One-quarter of employees stated they had no recollection of the hospital's handout concerning OEB, even though this handout had been distributed liberally and was also available on the Intranet.
Needlestick injuries during medical training
2006, Journal of Hospital InfectionCitation Excerpt :It is therefore important to emphasize vaccination early in medical training. Improvement could be made by scheduling a special lecture or course during early pre-clinical training, as proposed by Schmid et al.20 Another problem shown in the present study was poor compliance with the vaccination scheme. This compliance has been shown to be improved by sending short messages via mobile phones as a reminder for appointments.21
