“…Adults <50 years old were more likely to be vaccinated with Tdap and Td than older adults, a finding also reported for sub-populations in the United States such as healthcare providers and parents of children and adolescents [29, 32]. Younger adults may be better informed about vaccines, exposed to college campus prevention programs and vaccine requirements for enrollment, vaccinated in adolescent programs, or have more contact with healthcare providers through their young children.…”

“…For Tdap, coverage remains low despite recommendations since 2005 that included all adults up to age 64 and since 2012 all adults aged ≥19 years [13], as well as strategies targeting adults who have close contact with newborns (i.e., “cocooning”) [14, 15, 29]. For Td, a booster every 10 years has been recommended for all adults for more than 20 years [30], but low coverage persists.…”

“…The association between education and vaccination status might be related to greater vaccine and disease awareness. A physician’s or other healthcare provider’s recommendation has been shown to be a powerful determinant for adults to receive vaccinations [29], although such recommendations are provided inconsistently [33]. Higher educational attainment might make an adult more knowledgeable about vaccine recommendations and more willing to ask the health-care provider to provide them.…”

“…Additional reasons for low vaccination levels among adults have been reported for the general U.S. population, including limited knowledge about VPD risks and adult vaccination recommendations and negative beliefs about the efficacy and safety of vaccines [29, 33, 41]; however, information about the knowledge and beliefs of respondents regarding VPDs and vaccines was not available for this study. Further research is needed to characterize knowledge and attitudes about vaccines among the foreign-born population, as well as potential differences by subpopulations (e.g., by country of origin, education, acculturation).…”

Factors Related to Pertussis and Tetanus Vaccination Status Among Foreign-Born Adults Living in the United States

et al. 2016

Pertussis is a common vaccine-preventable disease (VPD) worldwide. Its reported incidence has increased steadily in the United States, where it is endemic. Tetanus is a rare but potentially fatal VPD. Foreign-born adults have lower tetanus–diphtheria–pertussis (Tdap) and tetanus–diphtheria (Td) vaccination coverage than do U.S.-born adults. We studied the association of migration-related, socio-demographic, and access-to-care factors with Tdap and Td vaccination among foreign-born adults living in the United States. The 2012 and 2013 National Health Interview Survey data for foreign-born respondents were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was conducted to calculate prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals, and to identify variables independently associated with Tdap and Td vaccination among foreign-born adults. Tdap and Td vaccination status was available for 9316 and 12,363 individuals, respectively. Overall vaccination coverage was 9.1% for Tdap and 49.8% for Td. Younger age, higher education, having private health insurance (vs. public insurance or uninsured), having visited a doctor in the previous year, and region of residence were independently associated with Tdap and Td vaccination. Among those reporting a doctor visit, two-thirds had not received Tdap. This study provides further evidence of the need to enhance access to health care and immunization services and reduce missed opportunities for Tdap and Td vaccination for foreign-born adults in the United States. These findings apply to all foreign-born, irrespective of their birthplace, citizenship, language and years of residence in the United States. Addressing vaccination disparities among the foreign-born will help achieve national vaccination goals and protect all communities in the United States.

“…50 Studies clearly demonstrate the positive impact of physician vaccine recommendations, including Tdap vaccine. [51][52][53] In one study of postpartum women, while most women expressed willingness to receive vaccine during pregnancy if recommended by their health care provider, only 5% and 10% report actually discussing Tdap vaccine and vaccinating household contacts, respectively, with their health care provider during their pregnancy. 54 The strong association between provider recommendation and vaccine uptake is well known.…”

Pertussis is a vaccine preventable respiratory infection. Young infants are at high risk of developing severe complications from infection. Despite high rates of pediatric vaccine uptake, there continues to be increases in pertussis cases, likely due to waning immunity from childhood vaccine and increased transmission through adults. Currently, pertussis booster vaccine (Tdap) is recommended for unimmunized adults and for women in the third trimester of each pregnancy; yet adult Tdap coverage remains low. Administering Tdap vaccine at non-traditional vaccination clinics and at sites where adults are accessing care for their children are effective in improving adult Tdap uptake. While most are willing to receive vaccine when recommended by their provider, lack of provider recommendation is a major obstacle to immunization. Future studies to understand barriers to provider vaccine recommendations need to be undertaken to develop interventions to improve adult Tdap vaccine uptake and reduce pertussis infection in the susceptible population.
