Guidelines exist, but the extent to which they are put into practice and prioritised is unclear.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives</jats:title><jats:p>To explore the views of primary care professionals around barriers and facilitators to catch-up vaccination in adult migrants (defined as foreign born; over 18 years) with incomplete or uncertain vaccination status and for routine vaccines to inform development of future interventions to improve vaccine uptake in this group and improve coverage.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design</jats:title><jats:p>Qualitative interview study with purposive sampling and thematic analysis</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Setting</jats:title><jats:p>UK primary care, 50 included practices.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Participants</jats:title><jats:p>64 primary care professionals (PCPs): 48 clinical including GPs, Practice Nurses and healthcare assistants (HCAs); 16 administrative staff including practice managers and receptionists (mean age 45 years; 84.4% female; a range of ethnicities).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Participants highlighted direct and indirect barriers to catch-up vaccines in adult migrants who may have missed vaccines as children, missed boosters, and not be aligned with the UK’s vaccine schedule, from both a personal and service-delivery level, with themes
