We aim to determine 2012–13 seasonal influenza vaccination coverage. Data were analyzed by age group and by coexistence of concomitant chronic conditions. Factors associated with vaccine uptake were identified. We also analyze a possible trend in vaccine uptake in post pandemic seasons.We used computerized immunization registries and clinical records of the entire population of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, Spain (6 284 128 persons) as data source.A total of 871 631 individuals were vaccinated (13.87%). Coverage for people aged ≥ 65 years was 56.57%. Global coverage in people with a chronic condition was 15.7% in children and 18.69% in adults aged 15–59 years.The variables significantly associated with a higher likelihood of being vaccinated in the 2012–13 campaign for the age groups studied were higher age, being Spanish-born, higher number of doses of seasonal vaccine received in previous campaigns, uptake of pandemic vaccination, and having a chronic condition.We conclude that vaccination coverage in persons aged <60 years with chronic conditions is less than acceptable. The very low coverage among children with chronic conditions calls for urgent interventions. Among those aged ≥60 years, uptake is higher but still far from optimal and seems to be descending in post-pandemic campaigns. For those aged ≥65 years the mean percentage of decrease from the 2009/10 to the actual campaign has been 12%.Computerized clinical and immunization registers are useful tools for providing rapid and detailed information about influenza vaccination coverage in the population.

Background Respiratory diseases are a major reason for recently arrived migrants seeking health care in countries of arrival. The burden of respiratory diseases in refugees is exacerbated by poor living conditions and crowding. The lack of synthesised evidence and guideline-relevant information to reduce morbidity and mortality from respiratory infections endangers this population. Methods A systematic review of all controlled and observational studies assessing interventions targeting the treatment, diagnosis and management of respiratory infections in refugees and immigrants in OECD, EU, EEA and EU-applicant countries published between 2000 and 2019 in MEDLINE, CINAHL, PSYNDEX and Web of Science. Results Nine of 5779 identified unique records met our eligibility criteria. Seven studies reported an increase in vaccine coverage from 2% – 52% after educational multilingual interventions for respiratory-related childhood diseases (4 studies) and for influenza (5 studies). There was limited evidence in one study that hand sanitiser reduced rates of upper respiratory infections and when provided together with face masks also the rates of influenza-like-illness in a hard to reach migrant neighbourhood. In outbreak situations of vaccine-preventable diseases, secondary cases and outbreak hazards were reduced by general vaccination strategies early after arrival but not by serological testing after exposure (1 study). We identified evidence gaps regarding interventions assessing housing standards, reducing burden of bacterial pneumonia and implementation of operational standards in refugee care and reception centres. Conclusions Multilingual health literacy interventions should be considered to increase uptake of vaccinations in refugees and immigrants. Well designed controlled studies on housing and operational standards in refugee population early after arrival as well as adequate ways to gain informed consent for early vaccinations in mass housing is required to inform guidelines.

“…It is highly recommended for health personnel, both because of their role as gatekeepers of the health system and because of their closeness to infected patients (European Union, ; Hampton, ; National Vaccine Advisory Committee, ). Despite this recommendation, previous work has revealed that vaccination coverage among health workers in Spain is under 40% (del Campo et al, ; Jiménez‐García et al, , ; Rodríguez‐Rieiro, Hernández‐Barrera, Carrasco‐Garrido, de Andres, & Jiménez‐García, ; Sánchez‐Payá et al, ).…”

The A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza virus reached pandemic level in Spain in 2009, prompting a national vaccination campaign. To avoid transmission to patients, healthcare professionals' vaccination against pandemic influenza is crucial. The main objective of this study was to analyze factors associated with the failure by healthcare professionals to accept the pandemic vaccination in 2009. A cross-sectional survey was conducted of healthcare professionals in seven of Spain's autonomous regions. A questionnaire was used to collect information about personal and professional details, the respondents' flu vaccination status in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 seasons (seasonal and pandemic vaccines), and their knowledge and attitudes. A total of 1,661 professionals completed the survey. In the 2009-2010 season, 38.2% had both the seasonal and the pandemic vaccine, 22.1% had had only the seasonal, and 4.7% only the pandemic vaccine. The strongest predictor of not receiving the pandemic vaccine was not having had seasonal vaccinations in that year or the previous year. Those who had not received the pandemic vaccine were more often female; nurses; under 45; denied contact with at-risk groups; and had negative beliefs about the vaccine effectiveness and little concern for getting the disease, being infected at work, or passing it on to patients. It would be prudent to direct preventive campaigns not only at individuals at risk of catching flu but also at health professionals with a negative view of flu vaccine, with a particular focus on nurses, who have a key role in recommending flu vaccine.
