“…Other studies have identified a history of prior influenza vaccination as a positive predictor of T2DM patients’ willingness to repeat the experience [34,35,36,37]. Our findings align with those results, as a previous history of influenza vaccination had the highest OR value (4.41) among all factors that were positively related to T2DM patients’ willingness to be vaccinated.…”

Willingness of patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to receive the seasonal influenza vaccine is low in China. A cross-sectional study on a representative sample of T2DM patients was conducted in Ningbo, a city in southeast China, to assess T2DM patients’ willingness to be vaccinated against influenza and identify the influence factors of this willingness. Data regarding the participant’s history of influenza, the knowledge, willingness and uptake of the influenza vaccine, demographic characteristics, reasons for willingness or unwillingness to be vaccinated was collected. Only 19.55% of a total of 1749 participants reported a willingness to be vaccinated. Factors positively associated with willingness to be vaccinated were perceived susceptibility to influenza (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.5–2.5), awareness of the vaccine (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.3–2.3) and previous history of influenza vaccination (OR = 4.4, 95% CI: 3.0–6.4). Patients with T2DM who were farmers (OR = 0.6, 95% CI: 0.4–0.8) and those managed by contracted family doctors (OR = 0.8, 95% CI: 0.6–1.0) expressed less willingness to be vaccinated. Targeted interventions such as enhancing health education and strengthening medical staff training should be conducted to increase T2DM patients’ willingness to be vaccinated and enhance influenza vaccine uptake among this population.

“…The most frequent reasons for the participants to not receive the influenza vaccine in our study were as follows: not knowing it was necessary to get an influenza vaccine, specifying that it was not necessary to have an influenza vaccine because they were healthy, and not being recommended the vaccine by a physician. Thus, in our study, the reasons for not receiving a vaccination were similar to those reported in the world literature (15,18,20,21). We think that increasing the knowledge level and awareness of the adult population about the risk groups and the efficiency and adverse effects of the vaccine will contribute to increasing vaccination rates.…”

Objective: Our aim is to evaluate influenza vaccination rates among the elderly and individuals with underlying chronic disease, and factors that affect vaccination uptake. Methods: The study comprised individuals aged 18-65 years with underlying chronic diseases, and individuals aged over 65 years. Literaturebased questionnaires prepared by the researcher regarding vaccination were completed through face-to-face interviews by the principal investigator. Results: A total of 818 participants were included in the study, 257 (31.4%) were males. The mean age of participants was 57.47 ± 14.11 years; 274 (33.5%) were aged 65 years and over. One hundred and three (12.6%) participants stated that they received vaccinations against influenza annually, and 144 (17.6%) stated that they had vaccination against influenza in the 2015/16 or 2016/17 season. Fifty-two (19%) participants aged more than 65 years stated that they received vaccinations against influenza annually, 75 (27.4%) stated that they had vaccination against influenza in the 2015/16 or 2016/17 season. The most commonly determined reasons for not receiving vaccination were not knowing that it was necessary (34%) and believing that vaccination was not necessary because they were healthy (26%). Statistically significantly more participants who gained their knowledge from a physician were vaccinated than those whose knowledge came from other sources (p < 0.05). Participants who considered that they had sufficient information about influenza were vaccinated more frequently, the results were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Informing target risk groups about influenza vaccination by physicians and increasing awareness about influenza may contribute to increasing vaccination rates.

“…In all risk groups as well as the general public, lacking general knowledge about influenza and the vaccine was identified as a barrier (HCP 11/117 [ 41 , 51 , 53 , 131 , 277 , 285 , 328 , 331 – 334 ]; Pregnant 4/35 [ 93 , 233 , 236 , 335 ]; Chronic 2/45 [ 238 , 325 ]; Children 1/18 [ 336 ]; Elderly 1/62 [ 252 ]; Public 9/191 [ 110 , 314 , 326 , 337 – 342 ]). Examples of knowledge are modes of transmission of the disease and medical exemptions for vaccination.…”

Barriers of Influenza Vaccination Intention and Behavior – A Systematic Review of Influenza Vaccine Hesitancy, 2005 – 2016

BackgroundInfluenza vaccine hesitancy is a significant threat to global efforts to reduce the burden of seasonal and pandemic influenza. Potential barriers of influenza vaccination need to be identified to inform interventions to raise awareness, influenza vaccine acceptance and uptake.ObjectiveThis review aims to (1) identify relevant studies and extract individual barriers of seasonal and pandemic influenza vaccination for risk groups and the general public; and (2) map knowledge gaps in understanding influenza vaccine hesitancy to derive directions for further research and inform interventions in this area.MethodsThirteen databases covering the areas of Medicine, Bioscience, Psychology, Sociology and Public Health were searched for peer-reviewed articles published between the years 2005 and 2016. Following the PRISMA approach, 470 articles were selected and analyzed for significant barriers to influenza vaccine uptake or intention. The barriers for different risk groups and flu types were clustered according to a conceptual framework based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and discussed using the 4C model of reasons for non-vaccination.ResultsMost studies were conducted in the American and European region. Health care personnel (HCP) and the general public were the most studied populations, while parental decisions for children at high risk were under-represented. This study also identifies understudied concepts. A lack of confidence, inconvenience, calculation and complacency were identified to different extents as barriers to influenza vaccine uptake in risk groups.ConclusionMany different psychological, contextual, sociodemographic and physical barriers that are specific to certain risk groups were identified. While most sociodemographic and physical variables may be significantly related to influenza vaccine hesitancy, they cannot be used to explain its emergence or intensity. Psychological determinants were meaningfully related to uptake and should therefore be measured in a valid and comparable way. A compendium of measurements for future use is suggested as supporting information.
