Abstract |
Adult vaccination programs are important, specially in adults who have
comorbidities in order to prevent serious infections such as influenza and invasive
pneumonococcal disease, but such programs are difficult to implened in Greece.
Many studies have shown that vaccination coverage rates are lower in adults than
children. In order to identify the weaknesses of adult vaccination, it is important,
firstly, to determine the vaccination coverage.
The study population includes adults over 50 years old, who live in the
villages of the rural clinic of Akoumia. From June to September 2018 we examined
patients that have been asked to complete a questionnaire that had been prepared
according to the national program for vaccination for adults 2018. For analysis and
frequency of vaccination coverage according to varius demographic charasteristics we
used the Pearson’s x2 test. The analysis was performed with Excel 365 (p.value<0.05).
Totally, we collected 373 questionnaires (69,6% of total population) from
adults over 50 years old. A high vaccination coverage rate was observed for the
seasonal flu (48,8%, n=171) in contrast with the rest vaccines. More specifically,
vaccination coverage rates were: for tetanus 10,2% (n=38), for S.pneumoniae (with
PPSV23 and PCV13) 21,2% (n=79), for Herpes Zoster 8% (n=30), for Hepatitis B
0,3% (n=1) and for the rest (Hepatitis A, N.meningitidis and H.influenzae tybe b) was
0%. In addition, it was found that the vaccination coverage of women for the seasonal
flu was higher than men. On the other hand, for tetanus men had higher vaccination
rates than women. At the end, according to the results of the present study the low
vaccination rates were due to ignorance of people and doctors. The instant results show the way to raise the vaccination coverage by trying to
inform the health care workers as well as general population for the benefits of
vaccination.
