“…6 The CDC refers to pharmacies as nontraditional locations for receiving vaccines, offering advantages such as community-based locations, access, and convenience. 7 In the 2010-2011 influenza season, 18.4% of people were vaccinated in a store (eg, supermarket or drug store).…”

PURPOSE Approximately 50,000 adults die annually from vaccine-preventable diseases in the United States. Most traditional vaccine providers (eg, physician offices) administer vaccinations during standard clinic hours, but community pharmacies offer expanded hours that allow patients to be vaccinated at convenient times. We analyzed the types of vaccines administered and patient populations vaccinated during off-clinic hours in a national community pharmacy, and their implications for vaccination access and convenience. METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed data for all vaccinations given at the Walgreens pharmacy chain between August 2011 and July 2012. The time of vaccination was categorized as occurring during traditional hours (9:00 am-6:00 pm weekdays) or off-clinic hours, consisting of weekday evenings, weekends, and federal holidays. We compared demographic characteristics and types of vaccine. We used a logistic regression model to identify predictors of being vaccinated during off-clinic hours.RESULTS During the study period, pharmacists administered 6,250,402 vaccinations, of which 30.5% were provided during off-clinic hours: 17.4% were provided on weekends, 10.2% on evenings, and 2.9% on holidays. Patients had significantly higher odds of off-clinic vaccination if they were younger than 65 years of age, were male, resided in an urban area, and did not have any chronic conditions.CONCLUSIONS A large proportion of adults being vaccinated receive their vaccines during evening, weekend, and holiday hours at the pharmacy, when traditional vaccine providers are likely unavailable. Younger, working-aged, healthy adults, in particular, accessed a variety of immunizations during off-clinic hours. With the low rates of adult and adolescent vaccination in the United States, community pharmacies are creating new opportunities for vaccination that expand access and convenience.

ÖzetAmaç: Eriflkin ba¤›fl›klamas› tüm dünyada güncel bir konudur. Bu çal›flmadaki amaç eriflkinlerin eriflkin afl›lar› konusundaki bilgi, tutum ve davran›fllar›n›n belirlenmesidir.Yöntem: Tan›mlay›c› nitelikteki çal›flmam›zda, Antalya merkez befl ilçesinden en çok nüfusa sahip üç ilçesinde bulunan befl ASM'ye baflvuran hastalara 18 soru içeren bir anket yüzyüze görüflme tekni¤i ile uygulanarak demografik bilgiler ile birlikte halk›n eriflkin dö-nem afl›lar›yla ilgili bilgi, tutum ve davran›fllar› araflt›r›lm›flt›r. Elde edilen veriler SPSS 19 program›na girilerek, tan›mlay›c› analizlerde ortalama ve standart sapma, karfl›laflt›rmalarda ise ki-kare, KruskalWallis testleri ile Spearman korelasyon analizi kullan›lm›flt›r. P<0.05 de¤eri anlaml› olarak kabul edilmifltir. Bulgular:Çal›flmaya kat›lan 50 kad›n ve 50 erkek olmak üzere toplam 100 yafllar› 19-63 aras›nda de¤iflmekte olup, ortalama e¤itim süresi 9.9±4.3 y›l idi. Kat›l›mc›lar›n %41'i hayat›n›n herhangi bir dö-neminde hiç eriflkin afl›s› yapt›rmam›flken, %59'u en az bir kez yapt›rm›flt›. En fazla yap›lan afl› tetanozdu (43 kifli). Eriflkin afl›lar› ile ilgili bilgileri araflt›r›ld›¤›nda, kat›l›mc›lar›n %37'si yaln›zca baz› hastal›k-lar› bulunan eriflkinlerin afl›lanmas› gerekti¤ini ve tüm toplumu afl›-laman›n gerekli olmad›¤›n›; %36's› eriflkin afl›lar›n›n varl›¤›ndan bilgisi oldu¤unu, ancak bu afl›lar›n neler oldu¤unu iyi bilmedi¤ini belirtmekteydi. Kat›l›mc›lar taraf›ndan en fazla bilinen eriflkin afl›s› influenza %32 idi; bunu s›ras›yla tetanoz %30 (17), hepatit-B afl›s› %12 (7), HPV %9 (5), pnömokok %5 (3), KKK %3 (2), zona %1 (1), kuduz %1 (1), menenjit %1 (1) izlemekteydi. Kat›l›mc›lar›n eriflkin afl›lar› konusundaki düflünceleri de¤erlendirildi¤inde, afl› yapt›ran ve yapt›rmayan gruplar aras›nda istatistiksel olarak anlaml› bir fark olmad›¤› (p>0.05) saptand›.Sonuç: Çal›flmam›z sonunda halk›n eriflkin dönem afl›lar› hakk›n-da yeterli bilgi birikimine sahip olmad›¤›, buna ba¤l› olarak eriflkinlik döneminde istenen ölçüde afl› yapt›rmad›¤› görülmüfltür.Anahtar sözcükler: Eriflkin, ba¤›fl›klama, afl›lar. SummaryObjective: Adult immunization is currently a center of interest for all over the world. The aim of this study is to investigate knowledge, attitude and behaviors of adults regarding adult immunization. Methods:In this descriptive study, a questionnaire consists of 18 items exploring demographic variables and knowledge, attitude and behaviors regarding adult immunization was implemented to the patients admitted to the five family health centers in three major central districts of Antalya. Data was analyzed with SPSS 19 software. Mean and standard deviations were used for descriptive analysis as well as Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis tests and Spearman correlation analysis were used for comparisons. P<0.05 was accepted for statistical significance. Results:Ages of the 100 participants were ranged between 19-63 and mean duration of education were 9.9±4.3 years. 50% of the participants were female. 59% had at least one immunization procedure during their a...

“…Their recommendations play an influential role in their patients' vaccination behavior. Their patients perceive them as a reliable source of information about vaccines, [14][15][16] and their consultation can also be a key factor in patients' decision to be vaccinated or not. [17][18][19][20][21] Moreover, their recommendations to patients about vaccinations are associated with their vaccination behaviors and attitudes for themselves.…”

Context: General practitioners and family physicians (GP/FPs) play a key role in the vaccination of the public in many countries and serve as role models for their patients through their own health behaviors. Objectives and Methods: a) To search for and document recommended/mandated vaccines for GP/FPs in high-income countries; b) To systematically search and review the literature on these physicians' knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (KABB) toward their own vaccination with the recommended/ mandated vaccines and the factors determining it. Results: a) The 14 countries included recommended or mandated as many as 12 vaccines; b) The systematic review identified 11 studies published in the last 10 y. All considered seasonal influenza vaccination but differed in the variables investigated. Discussion/ Conclusions: This review highlights the need for further studies on this topic, including qualitative and interventional studies (based on behavior change theories). These should cover occupational vaccines and determinants known to be associated with vaccine hesitancy.
