BACKGROUND: In addition to conscientious hygiene and limiting exposure, vaccination is an important public health intervention to limit influenza infection among high risk groups. However, limited research has been conducted among the general population to measure vaccine acceptance against a pandemic strain of influenza, and which specific concerns might hinder acceptance. Because this study was conducted prior to the H1N1 pandemic of 2009, it serves as a baseline measure of the population's perspectives on influenza vaccination. Subsequent studies will shed light on the degree to which a pandemic heightens acceptance.

INTRO: The prevalence of hepatitis in central Asia is considered high (>8% endemnicity) by the World Health Organization. Universal precautions among healthcare workers (HCWs) and newborn vaccination programs are important public health interventions to reduce the spread of hepatitis and other blood borne pathogens. This comprehensive evaluation of the risk of blood borne pathogen exposure among HCWs in the Republic of Georgia measures the following: 1) nosocomial risk events; 2) prevalence of HIV, HBV and HCV among Georgian HCWs; 3) predictive factors for HCWs recommending HBV vaccination for children; 4) prevalence of and willingness to report behavioral risk factors …
