Healthcare workers play an important role in shaping commitment to vaccination. However, the factors influencing their readiness and ability to effectively perform the function of vaccination "promoters" remain insufficiently studied. This qualitative study, based on 6 online focus groups with doctors and nurses (N=36) in Russia, aims to identify these factors. Data analysis using the COM-B model allowed systematizing the identified factors into three domains - capability, motivation, and opportunity - and developing a complex of interventions for their strengthening. The consistency of some research results with international evidence supports relevance of the proposed recommendations for a wide range of countries, both during potential pandemics and in routine immunization practice.
