Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to explore vaccination practices, attitudes, and healthcare access among approximately 1.2 million Ukrainian migrants in Poland, focusing on participants in Szczecin.
- Findings revealed that while Ukrainian migrants were skeptical about vaccines and healthcare in Ukraine, they had more trust in Polish healthcare services, perceiving vaccines as safer and higher quality.
- Despite their children being vaccinated according to the Polish schedule, many adult migrants had incomplete vaccination records and reported low interest in the influenza vaccine and unfamiliarity with the HPV vaccine.
Objective: The general public influenza vaccination coverage in Poland is one of the lowest in the EU (3.7% in 2017/2018). Teachers have the potential to be a target group for immunization programs against influenza infection, however, there is yet to be a study in Poland, or even in the EU that has assessed influenza vaccine uptake among this group.
