risk population we focused on were infants younger than 6 months. The result was a description of the infants’ health problem and the impact on their quality of life. For this IM process, we focused specifically on nosocomial pertussis infections in infants.

This was followed by an assessment of the behavioural and environmental causes of nosocomial pertussis in infants. For this IM process, we focused specifically on the role of HCWs who work with infants. The primary programme goal is to optimize pertussis vaccination uptake among HCWs who are directly involved in the care for infants younger than 6 months.
In order to assess the determinants (needs assessment) of the low pertussis vaccination rate among the HCWs considered, we asked the question: “which determinants could influence pertussis vaccination acceptance in HCWs?”. These determinants were identified using data from a literature review, (Goins et al. 2007, Peadon et al. 2007, Calderon et al. 2008, Wicker et al. 2008, Top et al. 2010, Baron-Epel et al. 2012, Guthmann et al. 2012, Mir et al. 2012, Pulcini et al. 2013, Lu et al. 2014, Vasilevska et al. 2014, MacDougall et al. 2015, Ryser et al. 2015, Tuckerman et al. 2015, Harrison et al. 2016, Paranthaman et al. 2016) focus groups and surveys with the three specific HCW groups, (Visser et al. 2016, Visser et al. 2017) review of social cognitive theories (Fishbein et al. 2010, Bartholomew-Eldredge et al. 2016) and discussions with the planning group.
