Abstract

Objective: It was observed in our hospital in the 2013-2014 period that the need existed for the education and motivation of the staff about seasonal flu vaccine SFV and hepatitis B virus HBV vaccinations.This study was performed to evaluate the success obtained with the solution to the problems related to immunization that were previously uncovered in our hospital.Methods: Data of this study were retrospectively collected from the 2015 and 2016 records of the Infection Control Committee ICC . During the mentioned period, the ICC performed educational activities regarding the objective, benefits, adverse effects and risk groups of SFV and HBV vaccinations and screening tests, including face-to-face interviews, if necessary.
