“…The risk of relying on self-report for pneumococcal vaccination in this context is the inadvertent re-vaccination of those who mistakenly think they had not received vaccination. A similarly low sensitivity (75 % if given in the past 5 years) was also noted in another very recent US study, but medical record information was only available on 27% of the eligible sample [8]. In another study from Australia, with medical record information available only on 72 % of the sample [9], sensitivity was 81 %.…”

Self-report of polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccination is not thought reliable because of the increased risk of adverse events from inadvertent re-vaccination in elderly people. Some studies suggest a high sensitivity of self-report and hence a low risk of adverse events if vaccination is administered when medical records are unavailable. Self-report of pneumococcal and influenza vaccination in a sample of >64-year-olds in the United Kingdom was compared with information in their medical records. Self-report of pneumococcal vaccination, in contrast to some of the other studies had a low sensitivity. The findings here support the need for accurate knowledge of prior vaccine status before offering the polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine. The study also confirms that self-report of influenza vaccination could be relied upon if rapid knowledge of uptake is required.

“…Some studies have shown patient reports of influenza and pneumonia vaccination and CRC screening tests to be reasonably accurate, though. [30][31][32][33][34] Rates of influenza and pneumonia vaccination and CRC screening among older Americans are suboptimal. This is especially apparent when examining the combined use of these services.…”

“…Most people have attended multiple medical practices, leaving records scattered or incomplete. Time may also result in lapses in memory [5][6][7]. Several vaccinations, such as tetanus/diphtheria (Td), pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV), hepatitis A (HepA) and hepatitis B (HepB) series, may have been administered years before a survey is conducted [6].…”

Immunizations are crucial to the prevention of disease, thus, having an accurate measure of vaccination status for a population is an important guide in targeting prevention efforts. In order to comprehensively assess the validity of self-reported adult vaccination status for the eight most common adult vaccines we conducted a survey of vaccination receipt and compared it to the electronic medical record (EMR), which was used as the criterion standard, in a population of community-dwelling patients in a large healthcare system. In addition, we assessed whether validity varied by demographic factors. The vaccines included: pneumococcal (PPSV), influenza (Flu), tetanus diphtheria (Td), tetanus diphtheria pertussis (Tdap), Human PapillomaVirus (HPV), hepatitis A (HepA), hepatitis B (HepB) and herpes zoster (shingles). Telephone surveys were conducted with 11,760 individuals, ≥ 18, half with documented receipt of vaccination and half without. We measured sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, net bias and over-and under-reporting of vaccination. Variation was found across vaccines, however, sensitivity and specificity did not vary substantially by either age or race/ethnicity. Sensitivity ranged between 63% for HepA to over 90% (tetanus, HPV, shingles and Flu). Hispanics were 2.7 times more likely to claim receipt of vaccination compared to whites. For PPSV and Flu those 65+ had low specificity compared to patients of younger ages while those in the youngest age group had lowest specificity for HepA and HepB. In addition to racial/ethnic differences, over-reporting was more frequent in those retired and those with household income less than $75,000. Accurate information for vaccination surveillance is important to estimate progress toward vaccination
