“…Of 26 studies with information available on setting, 19 [5,9,11,12,14,15,18,20,[22][23][24]31,34,38,39,42,44,46,47] measured missed opportunities only in a curative setting, 4 studies only in a preventive setting [13,33,35,45] and 3 in both settings [8,10,25]. The pooled prevalence estimated in the curative setting was 33.4% (95% CI: 23.8-43.0) and in the preventive setting was 17.8% (95% CI: 9.4-26.1).…”

“…Therefore, lack of recommendation by physician might reflect underlying hesitancy or lack in knowledge in physicians themselves, which need to be studied and addressed. Other studies have identified perceiving vaccination as effective [ 8 , 10 ] and viewing their child as susceptible to disease [ 5 , 8 , 25 ], and having previously vaccinated their children [ 8 , 23 ]. This is comparable to our findings showing that parents who vaccinated their children against influenza believed that vaccines prevent serious illness and protect others in the community from illness.…”

Background A growing number of parents refuse vaccination due to concerns about side effects. Influenza vaccine is no exception and remains one of the most controversial vaccines. Data regarding influenza vaccine uptake and parental knowledge, attitude and practice towards vaccination in the Lebanese population is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the rate of vaccination refusal and potential associated factors among Lebanese parents of school-aged children, in general and with a focus on influenza vaccine. Methods A parent questionnaire was distributed in randomly selected 2 public and 2 private schools from the greater Beirut area during the school year 2017–2018. Questionnaires covered knowledge, attitude (including themes of efficacy, hesitancy and trust), and practice of vaccination in general and influenza vaccine in particular. Results The response rate was 76.5% (306/400). Overall, 29.4% parents reported vaccinating their children against influenza (62.2% in private and 37.7% in public schools). Younger age, paternal employment and higher household income were associated with higher vaccination rates (p = 0.01, 0.02 and <0.0001 respectively). Lack of vaccine recommendation by the physician was the most common reason for not taking it (47%). Parents who accepted influenza vaccination had higher scores in efficacy, hesitancy and trust and were more compliant with other vaccinations. Conclusion One third of parents of school aged children in the greater Beirut area vaccinate their children against influenza. This rate is likely lower in rural remote areas. Physician’s recommendation is the single most important predictor of such vaccination. Future studies tackling physicians’ attitude and practice are needed to help improve influenza vaccination rates in the Lebanese population.

“…La vacunación es una de las medidas que han tenido mayor impacto en la salud de la población a nivel mundial, ya que es una de las intervenciones más eficientes en salud pública. 14,15 Sin dejar de jerarquizar la necesidad de mantener altas tasas de pesquisa de estado de vacunación que permitan una adecuada cobertura, se considera importante que los profesionales de la salud adviertan que la vacunación no es la única estrategia en salud preventiva, por lo que se deben ponderar otras herramientas de educación y promoción de la salud. Son los sectores más vulnerables de la población los que suelen tener tasas de cobertura de vacunación más bajas, consultan con menor frecuencia y en los que el impacto de medidas de promoción, prevención y educación para la salud en cada acto médico puede ser mayor.…”
