    • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
    • Vaccinology

    Background:

    • Healthcare professionals face occupational exposure risks to infectious agents like hepatitis B.
    • Physician attitudes towards personal health and preventative measures, such as vaccination, are crucial for public health.
    • Hepatitis B poses a significant risk to both healthcare workers and their families.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the attitudes of general practitioners (GPs) regarding their own hepatitis B vaccination.
    • To identify factors influencing GPs' decisions about personal hepatitis B immunization.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey-based study was conducted among general practitioners.
    • Data collected focused on GPs' intentions and reasons concerning hepatitis B vaccination.

    Main Results:

    • A notable proportion of GPs (21%) expressed no intention of getting vaccinated against hepatitis B.
    • This indicates a degree of ambivalence among some doctors towards their own health needs and vaccination.

    Conclusions:

    • Despite recognized risks, a segment of GPs remains unvaccinated against hepatitis B.
    • Further research is needed to understand and address the barriers to vaccination uptake among healthcare providers.
