Homeless people in athens: health profile and vaccinations

At an international level, the problem of homelessness has enormous dimensions and features of a multifactorial Public Health’s issue.
Social determinants are primary causes and individual-personal causes are secondary, for people’s homelessness, which is defined and treated in a different way among the countries of the developed and the developing world.
In Greece, the phenomenon is relatively recent.
The huge amount of problems faced by the homeless are about health, social, economic and psychological reasons, all deprived of and provoking social exclusion.
As multimorbidity is common among the homeless, accessible and affordable primary health care is a prerequisite for effective health interventions.
An effort has been made to assess: the health profile of the homeless people who took part in this qualitative study, their relationship with health structures and the possible implementation of vaccinations against four common diseases, particularly dangerous for this population.
