Introduction: Barriers to vaccination and the important role of healthcare professionals (HCPs) in influencing immunization decisions made by parents/patients have been well documented. Little information describes challenges that HCPs face in carrying out their role as vaccinators.Methods: We conducted a focus group study asking HCPs to describe their expectations as frontline vaccinators versus the day-to-day reality they faced. Participants described challenges impacting their ability and motivation as vaccinators, and proposed key solutions to the most important challenges. A total of 75 nurses and physicians (sixteen groups of frontline vaccinators) from the United Kingdom, United States, Germany and India participated in 2 hour focus-group discussions.Results: There was disconnect between how participants viewed their role in preserving population health when they started their career, and the reality of real-world practice today. Challenges experienced and reflected were similar across professional groups and countries. Low patient-level vaccine knowledge, patient miseducation, untimely vaccine information, frequently changing vaccine schedules, time pressures, lack of centralized record systems, pressure to achieve vaccination targets, and in some instances vaccine costs, all impacted the efficiency and enthusiasm of HCPs. Identified solutions by the same providers included improving patient-level information, equipping HCPs with effective information, and practical ways to reduce the vaccination burden by improved administrative processes and centralized recording coupled with delegating vaccinator roles.Conclusion: This focus group gives unique insights into needs of HCPs to fulfill their role as vaccinators. Supporting and equipping vaccinators is critical to the continuing success of vaccination programs and the proposed life-course immunization strategy. (Supplementary Appendix 1).
The 2009 H1N1 vaccination coverage rate among adults at high risk aged 25--64 years was lower (median: 25%) than the rate among children. Reasons for this might include a lesser emphasis on vaccination of this population compared with children, lack of preexisting relationship of state immunization programs with providers who serve adults at high risk, difficulty in implementing a risk-condition--based recommendation for persons in this age group (resulting in vaccination program implementation challenges), and historically low seasonal influenza vaccination rates in this population (4,5).
Combining BRFSS and NHFS estimates increased the size of the sample to approximately 200,000 persons and increased precision of estimates but might also constitute a limitation in interpretation of the results. Although BRFSS and NHFS are measuring the same population, differences in survey methods might lead to different levels of bias (e.g., inclusion of a cellular telephone sample in NHFS, variations in survey questions, the context of a general health survey [BRFSS] versus a influenza-specific focus [NHFS], survey operations and weighting, and response rates) (3). These differences might contribute to different levels of bias that are averaged over in the combined estimates in this report. For example, estimated 2009 H1N1 vaccination coverage by end of January was higher when based on NHFS alone compared with combined estimates (1.0, 3.6, and 2.8 percentage points higher for children, adults, and all ages, respectively). In the future, comparisons with the National Health Interview Survey might help determine the potential bias of the combined estimates.
Alternate Text: The figure above shows estimated influenza A (H1N1) 2009 monovalent vaccination coverage among children and adults, by age group and state, based on results from the United States, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and National 2009 H1N1 Flu Survey, through the end of January 2010. Coverage among children aged 6 months through 17 years ranged from 21.3% in Georgia to 84.7% in Rhode Island (U.S. median: 36.8%), and was higher than the rate among adults for all state (U.S. median: 20.1%).

As a result, multiple breakouts of measles have occurred throughout different parts of the Western world, infecting dozens of patients and even causing deaths. In the UK in 1998, 56 people contracted measles; in 2006, this number increased to 449 in the first five months of the year, with the first death since 1992 [26]. In 2008, measles was declared endemic in the UK for the first time in 14 years [27]. In Ireland, an outbreak occurred in 2000 and 1,500 cases and three deaths were reported. The outbreak was reported to have occurred as a direct result of a drop in vaccination rates following the MMR controversy [28]. In France, more than 22,000 cases of measles were reported from 2008 - 2011 [29]. The United States has not been an exception, with outbreaks occurring most recently in 2008, 2011, and 2013 [30-32].
Perhaps the most infamous example of a measles outbreak in the United States occurred in 2014-2015. The outbreak was believed to originate from the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California and resulted in an estimated 125 people contracting the disease [33]. It was estimated that MMR vaccination rates among the exposed population in which secondary cases have occurred might be as low as 50% and likely no higher than 86% [34]. Physicians in the region were criticized for deviating from the CDC's (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) recommended vaccination schedule and/or discouraging vaccination. As a result, California passed Senate Bill 277, a mandatory vaccination law in June 2015, banning personal and religious exemptions to abstain from vaccinations [35].

The subgroup results largely follow the same patterns we saw in the Table 2 summary measures: HSP is especially effective in the rural border counties, for Hispanic/Latinx children, and children of mothers with less than a high school education. We also find relatively large on-schedule and by-age-five ATTs among children of teen mothers. Among first-born children, HSP is more effective with respect to on-schedule completion.
WWC standards for establishing baseline equivalence in propensity score matching analyses are based on standardized (effect size) differences in variables used to identify matches between intervention and matched-control groups. In groups where all differences fall below 0.05, no further adjustments are needed. Where differences are between 0.05 and 0.25, guidelines suggest additional adjustments, including regression adjustments. While the standardized differences between the HSP group as a whole and their matches (reported in Table 5) are all below the 0.05 threshold, for many of the subgroups (not reported, available upon request), even with additional calibration, a small number of differences fall in the middle range. Accordingly we applied additional regression adjustments: in the form of logit models for the dichotomous outcomes, and additional Cox proportional hazard models for the time-to-completion outcomes. Again, per WWC guidelines these models include the HSP treatment indicator, all variables used in the matching models, and the matching-derived weights described earlier. In no case were the results reported here substantially different, either with respect to the magnitude of the treatment effects or their statistical significance.
High rates of child immunizations are associated with a substantial annual cost savings. Typical estimates indicate that $1 spent per child vaccination results in over $10 saved to society (e.g. healthcare/caregiving cost savings, illness/death averted, health/productivity gained, community impact and empowerment). [24,32-35] The Vaccines for Children (VFC) program is specifically tailored to provide the seven vaccines series at no cost to children who are Medicaid eligible, uninsured or under-insured, and/or who identify as American Indian/Alaska Native. [9,24,25] However, the VFC program may place a high burden on pediatricians, who reportedly spend a significant amount of time encouraging parents to vaccinate their children. [36] Thus CHW interventions like the Health Start Program may be effective in not only encouraging and increasing child vaccination rates generally, but also in supporting clinics and physicians through parent and family vaccine education and navigation provided by the CHWs (ideally complementing and amplifying physician efforts). In 2016, HSP served 2,544 unique clients and conducted 16,647 visits, which averages $1,090 per client. As demonstrated by this study, all HSP participants, as a group and in high-risk subgroups, showed higher rates of immunization completion.
