“…Families declare that "too much vaccination" is performed on their children, that these cause the immune system to attenuate and influenza vaccine even "causes" the disease itself (25). In adult diabetics, fear of adverse-effects is among the least common reasons but it increases to be more common in children (29)(30)(31). The rates of fear of adverse-effects are between 8.9-18.8% in different studies (11,21).…”

Objective: To investigate the vaccination rate of influenza in diabetic children and the effect of recommendation and other factors on vaccination rate.Material and Methods: On July 2011, 144 diabetic children and their families were informed about and were recommended to receive the influenza vaccine every year, in September. On December 2011, parents were questioned about the vaccination.Results: Influenza vaccination rate of the previous season (28.3%) increased to 50.0% (p<0.05). Receiving the vaccine in 2010 was the only contributing factor to the recommendation success. The reasons given by the non-receivers were; forgetting (50.0%), fear of adverse-effects (26.4%), not believing in usefulness (15.2%), rejection by the child (4.2%) and effects of media (4.2%). 88.9% of those who forgot declared that they would receive if they were reminded at the beginning of the season. Conclusion:The rate of influenza vaccination was low. The majority of those who didn't recieve the vaccination declared that they would if they were reminded at the beginning of the season and the fact that "receiving the vaccine in 2010" was the only factor influencing the recommendation success indicate that recommending isn't enough but that reminding and giving detailed information about the vaccine will increase vaccination rates independent of other factors.

“…This reason is most common in adult diabetics and vaccine refusal rate because this reason rises to 55% (2,13,27,29,30). Daley et al (13) showed that, among the non-receivers, about 33% of the families of children with chronic illnesses did not receive the influenza vaccine because they did not believe in its usefulness.…”

“…Diabetic patients are particularly susceptible to influenza and pneumococcal infection, and are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality from them [1]. Although the necessity of influenza and pneumococcal immunization in diabetic patients is widely accepted [2], vaccination rates are unsatisfactory [3,4]. Our aim was to estimate the prevalence of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination among diabetic patients attending primary care, in Greece.…”

Abstract:Objective: The objective of this study was to assess primary healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding immunization, as well as to evaluate the adverse effect profi le for the 2006-2007 infl uenza vaccines. Background: Infl uenza vaccination has been proven to have clinical and epidemiological benefi ts. However, its uptake in the general population and among healthcare workers has generally been suboptimal. The adverse effects reported were fever (n=57; 13.5 %), muscle pain (n=60; 14.2 %), joint pain (n=40; 9.5 %), loss of appetite (n=16; 3.8%), headache (n=41; 9.7 %), cough (n=29; 6.9 %), malaise (n=76; 18.0 %), tiredness (n=41; 9.7 %), stuffi ness (n=49; 11.6 %), sneezing (n=54; 12.8 %), sore throat (n=33; 7.8 %) and others, namely erythema, edema and abscess at the vaccination site, and lymphadenopathy (n=14; 3.3 %). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that primary health care professionals in our study group have been vaccinated with infl uenza vaccine in a reasonable percentage. There were no severe or serious adverse effects of the vaccine, the fact of which may be used to encourage both health professionals and patients of primary care (Tab. 3, Ref. 13).
