Evaluation of a University-Based Mandatory Vaccine Program

The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of an educational program for the University's mandatory vaccination program. The study examined the relationship between level of education, gender, and/or job classification and information retention and perceptions of the mandatory vaccination program. The hypothesis was that understanding and information retention level was increased in personnel with increased levels of basic and higher education and job classification complexity. The outcomes identified will be used to revise and improve the vaccine education program and materials, as well as develop recommendations to be used as a model by other institutions that may require a similar mandatory vaccination program.
