Abstract

Vaccination contre la grippe du personnel hospitalier en Allemagne: une recherche de cinq ans sur les taux de vaccination et la politique appliquée en matière de vaccination dans 25 hôpitaux allemands Objectifs: La vaccination du personnel hospitalier contre la grippe est recommandée par la Commission permanente de la vaccination du Robert Koch Institut. Cette étude a porté sur l’application de cette recommandation dans les hôpitaux allemands. Les médecins du travail de 25 hôpitaux ont participé à une enquête dans le cadre de laquelle ils ont fourni les données suivantes: prévalence de la vaccination contre la grippe et méthodes de promotion de la vaccination. Méthodes: L’enquête a eu lieu cinq années consécutives (1997–2002). Elle a porté sur 25 hôpitaux, soit sur 41969 employés (4,39% du personnel hospitalier allemand). Résultats: La proportion d’hôpitaux pratiquant la vaccination est passée de 48% pour la période 1997/98 à 92% pour 2001/02. En 1997, le taux de vaccination ne s’élevait qu’à 3,3% pour atteindre 8,4% en 2001/02. Le taux de vaccination dans les hôpitaux pratiquant déjà la vaccination en 1997 est passé durant la même période de 5,0% à 10,4%. L’implication de la direction hospitalière ainsi que le recours à des affiches ont eu un impact significatif. Conclusions: Le nombre d’hôpitaux proposant la vaccination, ainsi que le taux de vaccination ont nettement augmenté. Néanmoins, ce taux reste à un niveau inacceptablement bas.
