Abstract

En juin 1998, un questionnaire est envoyé pour évaluer les pratiques de vaccination contre la grippe en Suisse: 429 établissements de soins ont évalué le taux de vaccination contre la grippe de certains groupes. Chaque institution devait spécifier si le taux était précisément connu (basé sur les données existantes) ou estimé. Le taux de réponse est de 42.4%. La couverture vaccinale moyenne connue des patients-résidents est de 40% alors que l'estimation est à 29%; ces taux sont légèrement supérieurs pour les personnes de plus de 65 ans. Pour l'ensemble du personnel, le taux de vaccination connu s'élève à 16% (estimation 14%); pour le personnel médical, la couverture mesurée est de 30% et l'estimation à 16%. Le taux moyen de couverture des patients-résidents est de 59% en Romandie, 54% au Tessin, 37% en Suisse alémanique. Ces différences se retrouvent dans le taux de couverture du personnel médical: 21% en Suisse romande, 15% en Suisse italienne, 13% en Suisse alémanique. Ces résultats suggèrent que les différences culturelles inhérentes aux régions linguistiques peuvent jouer un rôle important dans les attitudes et comportements de la population face aux programmes de vaccination contre la grippe.
