Abstract

Objective. This article aims to identify strengths, weak­nesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT analysis) re­gar­ding vaccination in family medicine practices in Romania. Methodology. A SWOT analysis was performed in a focus group or­ga­nized with the members of the Vaccinology Group of the Romanian National Society of Family Me­di­cine (SNMF) in February 2022. Results. Covering the ter­ri­tory with family doctors as well as the population’s trust in the fa­mily doctor are still strong points. The main weaknesses are the lack of organization in practice groups dedicated to the current activity but also the vaccination, as well as the insufficient time needed to solve all the problems in pri­ma­ry care. The use of modern vaccine products, the ex­pan­sion of vaccination programs but also the experience as vaccinators offer opportunities for vaccination in fa­mily medicine practices, while admi­nis­tra­tive issues and po­li­ti­cal inconsistency are identified as the main threats. Con­clu­sions. The promotion of vaccination, the logistical process of distributing vaccines and the ad­mi­nis­tration of the vac­ci­na­tion consultation, together with the vac­cine products, have many aspects that are rather related to administrative and organizational issues.
