  2. Proportions of HS regularly recommending recommended vaccines to their patients

    Time frame: 15 minutes

  3. Proportions of HS with doubts about recommended vaccines

    Time frame: 15 minutes

Secondary outcomes

  1. Link between perception of benefits and risks of vaccines, knowledge of vaccine-preventable diseases, trust in different sources of information and vaccine hesitancy will be measured by questionnaire (measure by multiple logistic regressions)

    Time frame: 15 minutes

  2. Measure of attitudes and practices of HS vis-a-vis to vaccination and their specialty by questionnaire

    number of HS vaccinator or not by specialty in connection with their attitudes and practices

    Time frame: 15 minutes

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 19, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
