Abstract

Background: Seasonal influenza vaccination coverage remains low in most areas of China. Its influencing factors and barriers in various populations receiving influenza vaccinations need to be well understood to promote vaccination. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted with residents in 48 communities. Vaccination status in the 2018–2019 influenza season and reasons for or against vaccination were surveyed. The potential factors influencing vaccination uptake were determined using bivariate logistic regression. Results: In total, 1301 of the 11053 respondents received an influenza vaccine during the 2018–2019 season with a coverage rate of 11.8% (95% CI, 11.2–12.4). The vaccine coverage was highest among children (26.6%, 95%CI: 24.8–28.5), followed by adults (8.2%, 95%CI: 7.4–9.0) and elderly people (7.3%, 95%CI: 6.5–8.1) (p < .001). Those with chronic underlying conditions all had higher vaccine coverage than did those without for different groups (p < .001). Among the three groups, the most common reason for being unvaccinated was worrying about the side effects (45.0%), believing they were healthy and did not need to get vaccinated (42.2%), and lack of influenza vaccine awareness (48.3%). Low education level and lack of awareness were identified as predictors of low coverage rate. Conclusion: Influenza vaccination coverage is low among different populations in Shanghai. Our study highlights the need for appropriate influenza vaccination strategies and programmes targeting different populations.
