“…35 Our results indicate that pneumococcal vaccine is more likely to be administered to subjects residing in towns with under 10,000 inhabitants. This finding is analogous to the situation in the general Spanish population with respect to application of the influenza vaccination, 48,59 and to data published on the use of certain preventive medical services in the USA. 60 We regard the greater proximity to and accessibility of health centers in smaller towns as an important factor in achieving greater vaccine coverages.…”

“…10 As in other countries, the vaccine is provided free of charge and is mainly administered by general practitioners at primary-care centers; 40 a small proportion is also administered in specialized care, public as well as private. 47,48 This study was conducted on a group of patients who were at high risk of presenting with complications due to pneumococcal disease and had been treated for their COPD at primary-care centers. The participation rate of the medical researchers and the response rate of the COPD patients selected by the researchers proved very high, exceeding 85% in both cases.…”

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults. Pneumococcal vaccination is recommended to persons suffering COPD. This study aimed at describing pneumococcal vaccination coverages in patients with COPD and analyzing the factors associated with such vaccination.Methods: This was designed as a descriptive study conducted in the primary-care setting. Each of the 2422 medical practitioners included in the study had to enroll five COPD patients. As the dependent variable, we took the answer to the question, "Have you ever been given a pneumococcal vaccine shot at some time in your life?". As independent variables, we analyzed sociodemographic, health-status and lifestyle variables, along with history of influenza vaccination.Results: A total of 10,711 patients were enrolled and, 32.5% (95% CI 31.6-33.4) of participants reported receiving pneumococcal vaccination. Female gender, higher age and more advanced COPD stage were the variables associated with a higher likelihood of being vaccinated. History of influenza vaccination in the most recent campaign was also associated with pneumococcal vaccination.Conclusion: Pneumococcal vaccination coverages among Spanish COPD patients are low and strategies to improve them must be implemented as a matter of urgency.

“…36,37 A small proportion are also administered in both public and private specialized-care settings. 34,35 The sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of our sample are similar to those of other samples analysed in Spanish and foreign studies of COPD patients. 6,38 In our sample, mean age is comparable to that obtained by Miratvilles et al, 6 as is gender, with a greater prevalence of COPD in men, probably attributable to the greater number of male smokers.…”

“…The results published by other authors when analysing the relationship between gender and influenza vaccination are diverse. 24 Some of them show no association between gender and influenza 32,34,44 or pneumococcal vaccination. 36 Nevertheless, other authors have reported that men were more likely to be vaccinated than women, 43 although there are reports that women are more likely to be vaccinated than men.…”

“…These lifestyle data were collected using questions identical to those of the Spanish National Health Surveys. 34 Coverage of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination was assessed by estimating the number of individuals who had been vaccinated, and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI), analysed by the independent variables listed above. Bivariate comparison of proportions was performed using the c 2 statistical method and statistical significance was set at a two-tailed a < 0.05.…”

Association Between Unmet Essential Social Needs and Influenza Vaccination in US Adults

2021

Background Although social factors influence uptake of preventive services, the association between social needs and influenza vaccination has not been comprehensively evaluated for adults seeking primary care in the USA. Objective To determine the association between unmet social needs and influenza vaccination. Design Retrospective, cross-sectional, multivariable logistic regression. Participants Persons completing ambulatory visits in a primary care department at a midwestern, urban, multispecialty, academic medical center between July 2017 and July 2019 ( N = 7955 individuals included). Main Measures Completion of influenza vaccination in the 2018–2019 influenza season (primary outcome) or any year (secondary outcome) against 11 essential social needs (childcare, companionship, food security, health literacy, home safety, neighborhood safety, housing, health care provider costs, prescription costs, transportation, and utilities). Demographics, diabetic status, COPD, smoking status, office visit frequency, and hierarchical condition category risk scores were included as covariates. Key Results Individuals with transportation vulnerability were less likely to be vaccinated against influenza (current-year aOR 0.65, 95% CI: 0.53–0.78, p < 0.001; any-year aOR 0.58, 95% CI: 0.47–0.71, p < 0.001). Poor health literacy promoted any-year, but not current-year, influenza vaccination (any-year aOR 1.30, 95% CI: 1.01–1.69, p = 0.043). Older age, female sex, diabetes, more comorbidities, and more frequent primary care visits were associated with greater influenza vaccination. Persons with Black or other/multiple race and current smokers were less frequently vaccinated. Conclusions Transportation vulnerability, health literacy, smoking, age, sex, race, comorbidity, and office visit frequency are associated with influenza vaccination. Primary care–led interventions should consider these factors when designing outreach interventions.
