“…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). This rate being higher in our study suggests that emphasizing that the undesired effects of the influenza vaccine has no importance when compared with the benefits is crucial in the communication between families and the physicians.…”

“…This might help them to avoid overlooking the recommendation and reminding of influenza vaccination and giving the desired time to this topic while being busy focusing on diabetes, diabetic control and other possible complications. Other studies also demonstrate that the most important factors increasing the vaccination rate is the physicians' recommendation and reminding (2,(19)(20)(21)(22)(23). At this point, another issue arises which is that other reminding instruments other than the follow-up physicians should be taken into consideration.…”

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.

SUMMARYRoutine vaccination of certain groups of persons, including children and the elderly might provide additional protection to persons at risk for influenza complications and reduce the overall influenza burden.The aim of the paper was to estimate the influenza vaccine coverage in persons aged 0-4 years and >65 years in Poland in [2004][2005][2006][2007]. Official data collected by National Institute of Hygiene, National Institute of Public Health and Central Statistical Office were analyzed.Among vaccinations performed in all persons, the percentage of vaccinations performed in children aged 0-4 years varied from 1.6% to 2.0%. The estimated vaccination coverage in this age group of population was <2%. Among persons aged >65 years the influenza vaccine coverage increased from 7% in 2004 to 14% in 2007. Subjects aged >65 years represented 25-36% of all vaccinated individuals.The influenza vaccination rates among age-related risk groups in Poland remain low. No or very low increase in a total vaccination coverage rates, as demonstrated in our paper, indicates that meeting the WHO targets concerning influenza vaccination coverage will be very difficult, if no further action is taken concerning vaccine uptake.

“…Bu oran ülkemizden yapılan bir başka çalışmaya göre oldukça yüksek gibi görünse de (13), çoğu çalışma sonucu ile benzerlik gösteriyordu (22). Bu oranın yüksek olması grip aşısı ile ilgili bilgi eksikliğinin yüksek olmasının yanında önyargının sanıldığı kadar yüksek olmadığını düşündürebilir.…”

ÖZAmaç: Mevsimsel inflüenza aşısı, ağır inflüenza enfeksiyonu için risk grubu olan astımlı hastalara rutin olarak önerilmektedir. Çalışmada, astımlı çocukların ailelerinin mevsimsel inflüenza aşısı hakkındaki görüşlerinin değerlendirilmesi ve aşı yapılmasına etki eden faktörlerin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem:Denizli Devlet Hastanesi Çocuk Allerji Polikliniği'ne 01 Aralık 2016 -01 Şubat 2017 tarihleri arasında başvuran 6-18 yaş grubu astımlı çocuklar ve sağlıklı kontroller çalışmaya alındı. Ebeveynlere demografik özelliklerin, ev şartlarının ve mevsimsel inflüenza aşısı hakkındaki fikirlerinin sorulduğu bir anket verildi. Grip aşısı yapılmasını etkileyen faktörler lojistik regresyon analiziyle değerlendirildi. Bulgular:Toplam 214 astımlı ve 39 sağlıklı çocuğun verileri analiz edildi. Yaş, cinsiyet, üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu sıklığı, ebeveyn özellikleri ve ev şartları her iki grupta benzerdi. 2016-2017 sezonunda mevsimsel inflüenza aşısı yapılma oranı astımlı (%25.4) ve sağlıklı (%15.4) çocuklarda benzerdi (p=0.179). Astımlı çocukların ebeveynlerinin %49'u aşının ağır gribal enfeksiyonlardan koruduğuna, %35'i astım ataklarını önleyebileceğine inanırken; %10'u faydalı olmadığını, %7'si ise aşının yan etkisinin yüksek olduğunu düşünüyordu. Ebeveynlerin %41-65'inin ise bu konularda fikri yoktu. 2016-2017 sezonunda en sık grip aşısı yapılma nedeni %73.7 ile doktor önerisi iken, ebeveynlerin %26.5'i doktor önerisine rağmen çocuklarına aşı yaptırmamıştı. En sık aşı yaptırmama nedeni ise bu konuda bilgilerinin olmamasıydı (%73.4). Grip aşısı yapılmış olan astımlı çocukların şikayetlerinin başlama yaşı yapılmayanlara göre daha küçük olup, önceki sezon grip aşısı yapılma oranları ise belirgin olarak daha yüksekti. Astım nedeniyle düzenli ilaç kullanmanın grip aşısı yapılma olasılığını 6.4 kat (%95 GA 1.55-27.59, ABSTRACTObjective: Seasonal influenza vaccination is recommended for asthmatic patients who have a risk of severe influenza infection. We aimed to evaluate the parents' opinion about flu vaccination in their children with asthma and also to investigate the factors influencing the decision to accept the vaccination. Materials and Methods:Asthmatic and healthy children, aged 6-18 years, who had presented to the Pediatric Allergy Outpatient Clinic at Denizli State Hospital between December 2016 and February 2017 were enrolled. A questionnaire querying demographic information, house conditions and parents' opinion about the flu vaccine was given to the parents. The factors influencing the decision to accept the vaccination were investigated by logistic regression analysis.Results: A total of 214 asthmatic and 39 healthy children were analyzed. The distribution of age and gender, frequency of upper respiratory infection, demographics of the parents and house conditions were similar. The rate of seasonal influenza vaccination was similar between asthmatic (25.4%) and healthy (15.4%) children in the 2016-2017 season (p=0.179). We found that 49% of the parents believed that the vaccine protects from seve...
