February 2024
Objective: This study examined the perspectives of occupational health providers (OHPs) on the most frequently encountered clinically relevant reasons for employee vaccine hesitancy.
Methods: We conducted an anonymous, online, cross-sectional survey of US OHPs ( N = 217). The survey asked OHPs about the major reasons that employees cite for being unwilling to receive the following three categories of vaccines: COVID-19, annual influenza, and others relevant to the workplace.
Article Synopsis
- - A conference called "Worker Training in a New Era: Responding to New Threats" was held in 2002 to assess health and safety training needs for workers facing potential threats from weapons of mass destruction, like chemical and nuclear weapons (CBRNE).
- - The event aimed to identify common skills all workers need when exposed to CBRNE threats, as well as specific skills needed for different sectors, resulting in thirteen core components for pre- and post-event training.
- - Key recommendations included establishing clear competencies for training, improving coordination on federal training policies, and developing new training methods to enhance worker safety in the face of CBRNE threats.
