Protecting the healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries through vaccination : barriers, leverages, and next steps
Healthcare workers play a critical role in providing medical care to individuals and communities. Due to the nature of their work, compared to the general public, healthcare workers are at a higher risk of exposure to infectious diseases, including vaccine-preventable ones. The routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries is a critical issue. Vaccination not only protects healthcare workers from contracting infectious diseases but also prevents the spread of diseases to the patients, reduces healthcare costs, increases healthcare workers' morale and productivity, and demonstrates a commitment to health and safety. However, the implementation of policies for routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries faces several challenges, including lack of funds, lack of evidence-based data, vaccination hesitancy through misguided beliefs, and low literacy among healthcare workers. In this article, we discuss the need for a policy for routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries. We also analyse the barriers and recommendations for policy implementation and the role of partnerships. Additionally, we highlight the main points of the World Federation of Public Health Associations' policy statement 'Protecting the Healthcare Workforce in Low- and Middle-Income Countries through Vaccination' which has the potential to drive policy-makers and healthcare organisations worldwide into prioritising routine vaccination of healthcare workers in low- and lower-middle-income countries.
