“…As for age bracket, other Brazilian authors also found lower vaccine uptake among younger elderly individuals 14,16 . The same pattern has been shown elsewhere in the world, like the United States 34 and Sweden 35 .…”

“…However, according to the current study, smokers showed a lower influenza vaccination rate than non-smokers. Nevertheless, another Brazilian study failed to show this association between smoking and non-compliance 14 . A study in the United Kingdom, while not detecting a statistically significant association, showed a confidence interval mostly greater than 1 (95%CI: 0.99-1.37) for the association between non-smoking and vaccine uptake 17 .…”

“…This lack of vaccine uptake has been studied by various Brazilian authors, who have identified the following factors: age 14,15,16 , schooling 15,16 , and comorbidities 14,15,16 . Non-compliance was explained by some myths related to post-vaccination adverse events and even lack of belief in the vaccine 17 .…”

Vaccination is the most effective measure to prevent the complications of influenza. This population-based study aimed to estimate influenza vaccine coverage in non-institutionalized elderly, analyze the factors involved in lack of influenza vaccine uptake, and identify post-vaccination adverse effects. The study population lived in an urban neighborhood in Southern Brazil, and the sample consisted of 425 elderly. A total of 396 elderly individuals (age 60-95 years) were interviewed. Although 100% of the sample reported knowing about the vaccine, only 5.3% referred to their personal doctor as the source of information. Among elders that had not received the vaccine, 83.2% were explicit about not wanting to take it. The main reasons were fear of adverse effects and disbelief in the vaccine's effectiveness. However, the actual prevalence of adverse effects was low. Age, smoking, and lack of a doctor's appointment in the previous year were independently associated with vaccine non-compliance. The results show that improvements are needed in the immunization campaign, especially targeting elders less than 70 years of age and smokers.

“…15 Vaccine uptake varies widely between and within regions, independent of the country's level of economic development. 11 In Brazil, previous studies have reported evidence on vaccination coverage in specific sites [16][17][18] or in the biggest city of the country. 12,19 However, no previous study has reported information regarding either the national level or its macroregions.…”

This study aimed at assessing the factors associated with vaccine uptake in a representative sample of community-dwelling Brazilian older adults, specifically focusing on differences in socioeconomic factors among the country regions. We conducted a cross-sectional, population-based study, using a probabilistic household sample in 2013. Individuals aged 60 years or more answered a structured questionnaire informing on vaccination status and sociodemographic and behavioral covariates. Associations between variables were evaluated using prevalence ratios estimated by Poisson regression models. The overall vaccination coverage (72.6%) in older adults ranked lower than the goal of 80% stipulated by the Brazilian health authority; vaccine uptake differed significantly among the country regions. The prevalence of vaccination was lower in black individuals in Brazil than that in their white counterparts. The prevalence of vaccine uptake was significantly associated with covariates on current life style, use of health care, and socioeconomic determinants. Compared with individuals with 0-3 years of education, more schooled individuals had higher prevalence of vaccine uptake in the North, Northeast, and South regions of the country. This study showed that there is room for increasing vaccination coverage among the elderly in Brazil. The knowledge previously obtained on factors significantly associated with vaccine uptake has not prevented them to continue influencing this outcome. The socioeconomic inequality in vaccination in some Brazilian regions reinforces the need of targeting the intervention toward the most vulnerable groups.

“…After being The low take up of vaccination among those with health plans is also reported in other studies. Francisco et al 9 found fewer reports of vaccination among those with higher levels of education and other research 8,12 does not show a link between vaccination and sociodemographic characteristics, with the exception of age. These studies only analysed individuals using public health service providers.…”
