Pregnant women are considered to be a population vulnerable to influenza and COVID-19 infections, and the latest guidelines consistently recommend that they receive influenza and COVID-19 vaccinations. A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among pregnant women in Poland to determine which factors have the greatest impact on their decision to vaccinate against influenza and COVID-19. A total of 515 pregnant women participated in the study. Among them, 38.4% (n = 198) demonstrated a positive attitude toward influenza vaccination, and 64.3% (n = 331) demonstrated a positive attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the strongest influence on positive attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination is having it recommended by an obstetrician–gynecologist (OR = 2.439, p = 0.025). The obstetrician–gynecologist’s recommendation to vaccinate against influenza also significantly influences the decision to vaccinate (OR = 5.323). The study results also show a strong correlation between the obstetrician–gynecologist as a source of information on influenza and vaccination and participants’ positive attitudes toward vaccination (OR = 4.163). Obstetricians have a significant influence on pregnant women’s decisions regarding vaccinations. Further recommendations to vaccinate and awareness-raising among obstetricians may be needed to increase the vaccination rate of pregnant women in Poland. Full article

Healthcare workers are recommended to get vaccinated against measles and varicella. This study aims to describe the implementation process of a measles and varicella vaccination program and report on the reduction in the number of susceptible healthcare workers exposed to measles, varicella, and disseminated herpes zoster at a tertiary hospital. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) model was used to describe the vaccination program implemented from October 2015 to September 2018. The number of exposed, reviewed, and susceptible healthcare workers during contact tracing for exposure to (a) measles and (b) varicella and disseminated herpes zoster in 2016, 2017, and 2018 is reported. A total of 6770 (95%) out of 7083 healthcare workers completed their immunization review by 2018. In 2016, 20 (10%) out of 198 healthcare workers exposed to measles were considered susceptible. In 2018, no one was found susceptible out of the 51 staff members exposed to measles (p < 0.01). For exposure to varicella and disseminated herpes zoster, seven (5%) out of 154 exposed healthcare workers were susceptible in 2016. In comparison, only two (1%) out of 377 exposed healthcare workers in 2018 were susceptible (p < 0.01). The vaccination program effectively reduced number of healthcare workers susceptible to measles, varicella, and disseminated zoster. Full article
