“…This might be explained by PHC vaccination strategies, which use seasonal influenza vaccination as an opportunity to promote and administer 23vPPV in susceptible patients [17, 26]. Women had lower influenza vaccination coverage, as previously reported [27].…”

et al. 2010

Socioeconomic factors and the patterns of use of health services associated with influenza and pneumococcal vaccination were studied in people aged ⩾65 years admitted to three general hospitals in Spain between 2005 and 2007. The following data were collected: age, sex, risk of pneumonia, educational level, social class, type of household, physician visits, length of time with the same general practitioner, and influenza and pneumococcal vaccination (23vPPV). Associations between variables were assessed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. In total, 1702 patients were included; 59·9% had received 23vPPV and 65·6% influenza vaccine. Older age (OR 1·04, P<0·001), living with a partner (OR 1·72, P=0·003) and influenza vaccination during the last year (OR 6·64, P<0·001) were associated with 23vPPV. Male sex (OR 1·44, P=0·005), older age (OR 1·02, P=0·009), moderate risk of pneumonia (OR 1·58, P=0·001), living with a partner (OR 1·52, P=0·015) and frequent physician visits during the last year (1-6 annuals visits (OR 2·65, P<0·001); >6 visits (OR 3·83, P<0·001)) were associated with influenza vaccination. Coordination between public health and primary-care services may be necessary to improve vaccine uptake.

“…Spanish vaccination-coverage studies have essentially targeted the over-64 age group, and have attained values of 50-70% [10,[14][15][16][17], which are comparable to those reported from other European countries and slightly lower than those reported in the U.S. [1, [18][19][20][21][22].…”

“…It is only logical that suffering from a concomitant chronic condition would influence the likelihood of being vaccinated, since suffering from such a disease constitutes an indication for vaccination in Spain, and has been observed by different studies [14,17,23]. In any case, even if suffering a chronic disease significantly (p < 0.01) increases the probability of being vaccinated for those aged 18-64 years (OR 3.39), the coverage observed among these subjects is still low.…”

“…Like most studies [ 14 , 22 , 25 , 27 , 30 , 31 ], no association was found between sex and influenza vaccination coverage. However, studies in Spain and Israel have found higher coverages in males [ 20 , 21 , 26 ]. We found no association between vaccination coverage and educational level, in agreement with other authors [ 19 , 21 , 25 , 27 , 32 ].…”

Factors Associated with Influenza Vaccination of Hospitalized Elderly Patients in Spain

et al. 2016

Vaccination of the elderly is an important factor in limiting the impact of influenza in the community. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with influenza vaccination coverage in hospitalized patients aged ≥65 years hospitalized due to causes unrelated to influenza in Spain. We carried out a cross-sectional study. Bivariate analysis was performed comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, taking in to account sociodemographic variables and medical risk conditions. Multivariate analysis was performed using multilevel regression models. We included 1038 patients: 602 (58%) had received the influenza vaccine in the 2013–14 season. Three or more general practitioner visits (OR = 1.61; 95% CI 1.19–2.18); influenza vaccination in any of the 3 previous seasons (OR = 13.57; 95% CI 9.45–19.48); and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (OR = 1.97; 95% CI 1.38–2.80) were associated with receiving the influenza vaccine. Vaccination coverage of hospitalized elderly people is low in Spain and some predisposing characteristics influence vaccination coverage. Healthcare workers should take these characteristics into account and be encouraged to proactively propose influenza vaccination to all patients aged ≥65 years.
