- Authors
M., Joseph; B., Joseph
- Abstract
Healthcare workers (HCW) are at an increased risk of acquiring vaccine preventable diseases (VPD) due to their higher patient exposure at the workplace. In this context, they form an important target population for vaccination. The authors of this article wanted to explore into the history of vaccination, the risk profile of the health care workers and the current vaccines recommended for the health care workers. Looking forward, vaccine uptake among the healthcare workers can be improved by measures such as conducting periodic annual health check ups and establishing written hospital vaccination policies.
