Abstract
OBJECTIVES:
We surveyed the vaccination status of family physicians (FP) in the Loire district (France) in 2010.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS:
A self-administered questionnaire was proposed to a panel of 460 FP; 288 (64%) answered.
RESULTS:
The vaccination coverage for Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio in the previous 10years, BCG, pertussis, seasonal influenza, A/H1N1 2009 influenza, and hepatitis B was 81, 74, 59, 73, 65, and 87% respectively. Sixty-four percent of FP reported they were vaccinated against measles and 49% against chicken pox; 76% were aware of vaccination recommendations for healthcare professionals but 41% wanted more information on the subject. The younger physicians were better vaccinated for Diphtheria-Tetanus-Polio, measles, hepatitis B, and influenza according to a multivariate analysis.
CONCLUSIONS:
The vaccinations of FP (knowledge, practice) must be improved, especially by yearly updates, continuous medical education, and medical follow-up of healthcare professionals.
