Vaccination of health care workers in Romania

Methods We collected information about HCWs vaccination policies and regulation implemented through laws and also data about specific vaccination (seasonal influenza, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella and varicella). We conducted 5 focus groups with 39 participants (nurses, physicians, infection control personnel, public health and policy makers), as part of the HProImmune (Promotion of Immunizations for Health professionals in Europe) project activities, in order to understand the risk perception behaviors towards vaccination and barriers stopping HCWs from immunization. We followed for each focus group a specific discussion guide elaborated by the HProImmune project.
