Abstract

Introduction. In the context of increasing risks of outbreaks of vaccine-preventable infections (VPI), including measles, diphtheria, and pertussis, an assessment was conducted to evaluate the level of awareness among healthcare workers in the Kyrgyz Republic. Objective. To identify knowledge regarding key aspects of VPI epidemiology, regulatory framework, vaccination practices, contraindications, and causes of vaccine refusal among the population. Materials and Methods. A survey was conducted among medical professionals from five regions: Bishkek, Osh, Jalal-Abad, Talas, and Issyk-Kul regions. The study included 802 respondents — physicians and mid-level healthcare workers. The survey was conducted from November 25 to December 16, 2024. Results. Measles was recognized as the most significant VPI (75.1% of responses), yet only 62% of participants correctly identified the relevant regulatory document — Order No. 237 of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic. The study also revealed insufficient knowledge regarding response algorithms in infection foci and medical contraindications to vaccination. Notably, 53% of respondents identified a low level of public awareness as the primary reason for vaccine refusal. Recommendations. Based on the data obtained, practical measures have been proposed to enhance the epidemiological preparedness of the healthcare system. These include the implementation of online training courses for healthcare workers with an emphasis on regulatory documents, annual knowledge assessments, and large-scale public awareness campaigns through intersectoral collaboration. Conclusions. The results of the study highlight the need for a systematic approach to training medical personnel and updating their knowledge in the field of infection control. This is particularly important in the context of an unstable epidemiological situation and for the implementation of an effective national VPI prevention strategy.
