Healthcare workers' attitudes toward influenza vaccine prescriptions in China.
Article in Global health research and policy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundVaccine prescription is being implemented and applied in China to bolster promote vaccination campaigns and mitigate vaccine hesitancy. This study aims to investigate the current vaccine recommendation practices among healthcare workers (HCWs) in China and identify the determinants that influence their willingness to provide vaccination prescription, informing interventions to support the implementation of willingness into practice.
methodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted among HCWs nationwide in China from July 3 to July 10, 2024. The survey questionnaire was distributed via a link provided by an expert-listening platform at the 2024 World Influenza Conference, representing a diverse group across different healthcare institutions. The study used descriptive and logistic regression analyses performed on attitudes toward providing influenza vaccination prescriptions.
resultsAmong 3140 responding HCWs, 68.8% of hospital-based HCWs (N = 778/1131) and 61.9% of community-based HCWs (N = 1243/2009) demonstrate a willingness to provide vaccine prescriptions. HCWs with a history of influenza vaccination (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 0.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.23-0.39, P < 0.001) were significantly more inclined to provide vaccine prescriptions. Incentives including bonus rewards (aOR = 1.84, 95% CI: 1.40-2.43, P < 0.001), and integration into annual/monthly performance evaluations (aOR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.20-2.13, P = 0.001) further enhanced willingness to provide prescriptions. In terms of communication methods, 63.4% of HCWs (N = 1991) identified official public account promotions on WeChat as the most effective for raising vaccination awareness, significantly surpassing provide vaccine prescriptions (8.7%, N = 350).
conclusionsOur study emphasizes the necessity for further evaluations of vaccine prescription policies to improve the implementation among HCWs. The findings advocate for tailored strategies, including enhanced incentive mechanisms in hospital settings and optimized digital engagement in community health centers, to facilitate effective vaccine prescription practices.
