Promoting Vaccination in Primary Care

Dear Colleagues,

We invite you to contribute to a Special Issue focused on the factors influencing efforts to promote vaccination within primary care settings.

Vaccination is one of the most effective public health interventions, yet increasing vaccination coverage remains a significant challenge worldwide. Primary care (PC) professionals play a crucial role in promoting vaccine confidence and coverage within the communities that they serve. It is essential to understand the views and needs of PC professionals, as well as the challenges that they face, regarding vaccination. Additionally, to increase vaccination coverage in primary care, it is necessary to understand community members’ notions about immunization and the factors that may influence their vaccination behavior. This Special Issue will compile studies that provide a comprehensive understanding of the various factors influencing vaccination coverage in primary care settings. We invite you to submit relevant quantitative and qualitative studies or reviews that contribute to effective interventions promoting vaccination in primary care worldwide.

Kind regards,

Dr. Zoi Tsimtsiou
Guest Editor
