Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Influenza Vaccination Compliance Among Healthcare Workers at the Primary Health Care Corporation, Qatar, 2020-2024: A Retrospective Study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 Healthcare workers (HCWs) are a priority population for vaccination due to their high exposure risk and critical role in maintaining healthcare system resilience. While COVID-19 vaccination campaigns have achieved notable success globally, seasonal influenza vaccine uptake remains inconsistent. This study assesses COVID-19 and seasonal influenza vaccination coverage among HCWs at the Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) in Qatar between 2020 and 2024, and identifies associated demographic and occupational determinants. Methods A retrospective, observational study was conducted using data extracted from PHCC's electronic medical records system (EMRS) and Human Resources Database (HRD), encompassing 31 health centers. All HCWs employed for ≥3 months were included. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize vaccination rates, and chi-square tests were applied to assess associations between vaccine uptake and variables such as age, gender, nationality, job role, years of service, and educational attainment. Results Among 7,463 eligible HCWs (100%), COVID-19 vaccine uptake was high (94.05%), with 18,844 doses administered. Seasonal influenza vaccine coverage was comparatively lower at 65.20%, representing 4,866 HCWs, with 16,533 doses given. Higher age, non-Qatari nationality, female gender (for COVID-19), and shorter service duration were significantly associated with increased uptake (p < 0.05). Educational attainment showed statistically significant associations for both vaccines, although coverage rates were similar across qualification levels. Clinical role was not significantly associated with influenza uptake, but it was significant for COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusion COVID-19 vaccination compliance among HCWs at PHCC was robust and aligned with high-income country benchmarks. However, seasonal influenza vaccination remains below the WHO-recommended 75% threshold. Findings underscore the need for sustained institutional efforts to address vaccine fatigue and promote annual influenza immunization, particularly among younger, Qatari, and longer-serving HCWs. Tailored strategies, education, and institutional mandates may enhance future vaccine compliance and protect healthcare system integrity.
