The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate adherence to workplace vaccination campaigns. Three databases, PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and Scopus, were screened systematically for articles in English or Italian addressing participation in an on-site vaccination program by employees. The following data was extracted: authors, year, country, type of vaccine, type of workplace, sample size, vaccination rate. Data on the prevalence of flu vaccination were calculated and pooled using a random-effects model. Thirteen articles were included in the review, ten in the meta-analysis. Most studies were conducted in the USA (30.7%) and most vaccination campaigns were against influenza (69.2%), with a pooled estimate of 42% (95% CI: 0.25\u20130.60%); participation rate was highly variable, ranging from 88.9% for an influenza vaccination campaign to 5.7% for a Lyme disease vaccination campaign. Offering free on-site vaccination can be a successful tool to ensure adherence to vaccination campaigns and administration of all required doses according to the vaccine administration scheme. The occupational physician can play a key role in implementing workplace campaigns for employee mandatory vaccinations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/vaccines10111898","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T19:17:34Z","timestamp":1668107854000},"page":"1898","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Employee Participation in Workplace Vaccination Campaigns: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7357-2892","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Rosaria","family":"Gualano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Saint Camillus International University of Health Sciences, UniCamillus, 00131 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Leadership in Medicine Research Center, Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 20123 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Center for Global Health Research and Studies, Universit\u00e0 Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, 00168 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6052-088X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo Emilio","family":"Santoro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Woman and Child Health and Public Health, Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A.
