Summary: Abstract: Health care providers in public health centers should be fully aware and knowledgeable on the proper timing and administration of rotavirus vaccine (RV). This study explored health care providers' knowledge, attitudes and practices on RV and investigated the barriers for its routine vaccination in health centers in Quezon City. This is a cross sectional study. A pre-tested questionnaire was administered to health care providers in the 4 districts of Quezon City. Respondents were selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Respondents immunize 36 children (5-120) a day, 5 days (2 to 7) a week. Nine respondents (4.6%) vaccinate children the whole week; 99.5% were aware of RV and obtained information mainly from orientations of local health department (90.7%), DOH Memorandum (42.3%) and conferences/seminars (23.2%). Knowledge on RV ranged from 74.2% to 98%. Respondents (88.7%) agreed that rotavirus disease is a significant problem in the Philippines and that RV should be included in the national immunization program (97.9%); 93.8% believed that RV is an effective way of preventing rotavirus diarrhea; and 95.9% were willing to attend a seminar on RV. Most respondents (94.8%) recommend Rv and routinely give it to patients (82%). RV is available in the health centers of 90.7% respondents, although 5.7% claimed not having it. Respondents (79.4%) participated in seminars conducted for rotavirus immunization. Lack of knowledge on importance of RV, fear of adverse reaction/safety, and accesibility of health centers were the top 3 barriers for patients to allow RV immunization. Unavailability of the vaccine was the topmost barrier for health care providers to give routine RV immunization. Most health care providers in this study were aware and knowledgeable on the proper timing and administration of RV, had positive attitude, and applied good practices of RV immunization. The barriers for routine RV immunization were: patients' lack of knowledge, fear of adverse reaction, accessibility of health centers, and unavailability of the vaccine.
