Objective

To understand the current status of knowledge and willingness of influenza vaccination among the unvaccinated elderly people in a southwestern city, and to analyze the factors affecting the willingness of influenza vaccination, so as to provide a basis for promoting the popularization of influenza vaccine.

Methods

A total of 600 elderly people aged 60 and above who were not vaccinated with influenza vaccine from October to December 2023 were surveyed on their knowledge and willingness to be vaccinated with influenza vaccine. Finally, 538 valid questionnaires were collected. Univariate analysis was carried out using t-test and χ2 test, and logistic regression model was used to analyze influenza vaccination intention.

Results

In total 57.8% of the 538 elderly people were willing to be vaccinated against influenza. Specifically, 55.6% of the elderly “did not know or have not heard of the influenza vaccine”, 53.2% of the elderly believed that “the influenza vaccine may not be effective”, 67.5% of the elderly believed that “influenza vaccination would have side effects”, and the estimated proportion of side effects was at 17.53%. The results of multivariate analysis of influenza vaccination willingness showed that people who had “general knowledge” (OR=2.464, 95%CI: 1.209-5.019, P=0.013) and who were “very knowledgeable” (OR=2.885, 95%CI: 1.112-7.485, P=0.029) were more likely to be vaccinated than those who had not heard of influenza vaccine.Compared with the “estimated proportion of influenza vaccination in people aged 60 and over < 20%” group, the “estimated vaccination ratio of 60% to 80%” group (OR=3.478, 95%CI=1.555-7.779, P=0.002), and the “estimated vaccination ratio ≥80%” group (OR=4.591, 95%CI=1.058-19.915, P=0.042) had higher willingness to vaccinate influenza vaccine. The higher the score of satisfaction with personal health, the lower the willingness to be vaccinated against influenza (OR=0.804, 95%CI=0.670-0.964, P=0.018).

Conclusion

The elderly people who have not been vaccinated with influenza vaccine in this area do not know enough about influenza and its vaccine, and the willingness of influenza vaccination is low, which needs to be improved urgently. It is suggested that the knowledge and publicity of influenza and its vaccine be strengthened in this region, and practical vaccination strategies should be adopted to improve the willingness and vaccination rate of influenza vaccination.
