Strategies used to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare providers: A systematic review.
Review in Vaccine: X, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Vaccination is one of the most effective available public health tools, preventing infectious diseases to safeguard public health and save millions of lives annually. However, in recent years vaccine hesitancy has increased among all populations, including healthcare workers. Healthcare providers are central to vaccination efforts due to their increased exposure to disease and vulnerable patients, and their role in patient confidence and decision-making. These decreasing uptake rates highlight a critical need to address specific barriers within this target group. This systematic review aims to explore the strategies used to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare providers. Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, and MEDLINE databases, alongside a grey literature search, to identify studies describing interventions to improve vaccine uptake among healthcare providers. This was followed by de-duplication and double-blinded screening processes using Rayyan. Data extraction and thematic analysis focused on categorising interventions and identifying frequencies of use, to develop recommendations for further interventions tailored to target regions. Results: 60 studies were identified, predominantly concerning influenza vaccination. Interventions included educational initiatives, reminders, incentives, access solutions, feedback, and policy implementation. Key strategies included targeted educational lectures, posters, and pamphlets; mobile vaccination units; extended vaccination hours; and leadership engagement. The findings underscore the importance of a multifaceted approach combining educational efforts, enhanced accessibility, and motivational incentives to improve vaccination rates within the healthcare providers, especially where mandatory vaccination is controversial. Conclusions: This review evaluates tailored strategies to enhance vaccine confidence and uptake among healthcare providers, advocating for a holistic approach that includes educational initiatives, reminder systems, incentives, improved access, feedback mechanisms, and policy enactment to effectively address hesitancy and promote public health.
