“…To address the question of such historically low vaccination rates among those with asthma, many studies employed cross‐sectional surveys to analyze the socio‐demographic variables that predict vaccine uptake. The strongest factors associated with higher vaccine coverage were older age, recent contact with healthcare providers, nonsmoking status, presence of comorbidities, more severe asthma, and (surprisingly) lower household income, although there are conflicting reports for the latter . Variables that were associated with lower vaccination uptake included younger age groups, belonging to certain ethnic groups, and lack of awareness about the vaccine .…”

“…However, vaccine uptake for clinical risk groups varied from 31% in Portugal to 82% in Northern Ireland, as did influenza vaccination coverage of adults with asthma, with 30%‐50% in Spain and 40% in the UK . Self‐reported uptake of seasonal influenza vaccine among adults with asthma in the United States varied from 54% in the community to 71% in secondary care .…”

“…The success of vaccination programs was affected by complex factors such as the nature of healthcare provision (eg, free care or insurance‐based), education levels, and cultural acceptance of the vaccine. Therefore, national health surveys with information on vaccination status linked with medical and socio‐demographic details (such as that of Spain with data spanning more than 2 decades) can aid in assessing the impact of influenza vaccination, at population level.…”

To address uncertainties in the prevention and management of influenza in people with asthma, we performed a scoping review of the published literature on influenza burden; current vaccine recommendations; vaccination coverage; immunogenicity, efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of influenza vaccines; and the benefits of antiviral drugs in people with asthma. We found significant variation in the reported rates of influenza detection in individuals with acute asthma exacerbations making it unclear to what degree influenza causes exacerbations of underlying asthma. The strongest evidence of an association was seen in studies of children. Countries in the European Union currently recommend influenza vaccination of adults with asthma; however, coverage varied between regions. Coverage was lower among children with asthma. Limited data suggest that good seroprotection and seroconversion can be achieved in both children and adults with asthma and that vaccination confers a degree of protection against influenza illness and asthma-related morbidity to children with asthma. There were insufficient data to determine efficacy in adults. Overall, influenza vaccines appeared to be safe for people with asthma. We identify knowledge gaps and make recommendations on future research needs in relation to influenza in patients with asthma.

“…In this regard, an extensive review of the literature was carried out to identify the existing evidence on vaccination behavior. Previous studies have reported that people who are older [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ], married [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], better educated [ 27 , 28 ], non-smokers [ 22 , 25 , 26 ], have chronic illnesses [ 16 ], no limitations on their activities [ 29 ], or who have medical insurance [ 29 ] are more likely to receive the vaccine than those without these characteristics. Conversely, research has shown that people who are allergic to medication [ 16 ] or smokers [ 30 ] are less likely to be vaccinated.…”

It is common for elderly people and those with such chronic disorders as respiratory diseases to suffer severe complications from influenza, a viral infection. The voluntary uptake of vaccination is vital to the effectiveness of influenza prevention efforts. The Health Belief Model (HBM) is the most commonly used framework in the field of vaccination behavior to explain the decision that people make to accept or refuse vaccination. In addition, psychological flexibility is considered helpful in causing people to be open to adopting new practices that are consistent with their values. This study examined the role of psychological flexibility and health beliefs in predicting the uptake of influenza vaccination among people in Hong Kong. Eligible participants were Hong Kong permanent residents aged 18 years or above with a history of chronic respiratory diseases (CRD). A convenience sample of 255 patients was recruited to participate in a cross-sectional survey in which HBM components and factors of psychological flexibility were assessed. The following variables were found to be significant predictors of vaccination: age, smoking status, comorbidity, previous hospitalization, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and psychological flexibility. Enhancing psychological flexibility might be a potential new direction for motivating people to accept influenza vaccination.

“…We presume that adolescents have considerably lower influenza vaccination rates than those getting free vaccination, and this has led to significant public health concerns. Although several studies have analyzed factors associated with influenza vaccination among adults with asthma [1,13,14], there have been few reports of vaccination rates and associated factors among adolescents with asthma [15,16]. We hypothesized that adolescents with asthma are more likely to get influenza vaccination than adolescents without asthma for the purpose of controlling their disease and preventing complications due to influenza infection.…”

Background: Influenza viral infection is a major public health problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Asthma is a risk factor for developing serious complications related to influenza infection. Objective: We explored factors associated with influenza vaccination coverage among adolescents with asthma. Methods: Data were obtained from 62,276 participants in the 13th Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey (KYRBS) conducted in 2017. KYRBS data were obtained from a stratified, multistage, clustered sample. We used multiple logistic regression analyses to identify variables potentially related to influenza vaccination in adolescents with asthma. Results: The proportion of asthma was 8.8%, and the influenza vaccination rate overall was 37.9%. It was 41.8% in the asthma group and 37.5% in the nonasthma group (p < 0.001). After regression, male sex (odds ratio (OR) = 1.45; 95% CI 1.35-1.55), a high socioeconomic status (OR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.05-1.19), residence at an orphanage (OR = 1.93; 95% CI 1.38-2.29), regular breakfast consumption (OR = 1.09; 95% CI 1.02-1.17), and subjective good health (OR = 2.39; 95% CI 1.69-3.39) were associated with increased influenza vaccination, whereas current smoking (OR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.67-0.96) and a depressive mood (OR = 0.77; 95% CI 0.64-0.95) were inversely associated in adolescents with asthma. Conclusion: It is important to improve influenza vaccination in adolescents with asthma, especially females, those with a low socioeconomic status, independent residents, breakfast skippers, current smokers, and those who consider themselves unhealthy and have depressive moods.

Adherence and factors associated with influenza vaccination among subjects with asthma in Spain

Abstract: Seasonal influenza vaccination coverage among Spanish asthmatics is lower than desired and has not improved in recent years. Urgent strategies are necessary in order to increase vaccination coverage among asthmatics.
