“…The coverage rates pre-pandemic and during the pandemic reiterate the previously reported increase in trust and demand for influenza vaccines as a result of COVID-19. There remains a scarcity of evidence investigating the cause of this, as multiple factors influence vaccination intent and are highly likely to vary depending on a multitude of situational factors [ 10 , 58 , 114 ].…”

Influenza is a common respiratory infection associated with a substantial clinical, humanistic, and economic burden globally. Vaccines are essential to prevent and control influenza and are recommended by public-health agencies, such as the WHO and US CDC; however, vaccination rates vary considerably across the globe. This review aimed to investigate the perceived barriers and attitudes to influenza vaccination in the global population, in order to identify strategies that may improve influenza vaccination coverage. A structured literature search was undertaken to identify studies that reported on patient-reported attitudes towards influenza vaccination, focused on the adult general population in 16 prespecified countries. Eighty studies were included in this review. Negative attitude towards healthcare were found to be the most agreed upon barrier to vaccine uptake (31.1% agreement). The most agreed promoter of influenza vaccination was trust in healthcare services (62.0% agreement). Approximately 50% of participants intended to receive the influenza vaccine in the following season. To improve influenza vaccination coverage, healthcare workers must strengthen the foundation of substantial trust in healthcare services and provide educational materials that improve influenza vaccination knowledge among the adult general population.

“…Common influenza vaccination campaign strategies that have been shown to be successful include convenient, easyaccess vaccinations, 22,23 sharing awareness via social media, 23 free or low-cost influenza vaccines, educational outreach into vulnerable areas, 24 simple, evidence-based messaging, 25 and consistent communication from healthcare providers. 22,23 While the influenza vaccine only reduces the risk of illness among 40%-60% of the population, 26 to get an influenza vaccine. This suggests that even though the influenza vaccination campaign is successful, there are still persisting racial and geographic disparities, consistent with other studies that have reported racial and geographic disparities in influenza vaccine uptake.…”

“…These findings suggest that the campaign for influenza vaccination uptake has been successful, as influenza vaccine uptake was highest among residents most vulnerable to severe complications from influenza. Common influenza vaccination campaign strategies that have been shown to be successful include convenient, easy‐access vaccinations, 22,23 sharing awareness via social media, 23 free or low‐cost influenza vaccines, educational outreach into vulnerable areas, 24 simple, evidence‐based messaging, 25 and consistent communication from healthcare providers 22,23 . While the influenza vaccine only reduces the risk of illness among 40%–60% of the population, 26 the influenza vaccine is still very effective in terms of uptake, particularly among those most at risk for severity, including those 65 years or older.…”

Given recent downward trends in daily rates of COVID-19 vaccinations, it is important to reassess strategies to reach those most vulnerable. The success and efficacy of vaccination campaigns for other respiratory illnesses, such as influenza, may help inform messaging around COVID-19 vaccinations. This cross-sectional study examines the individual-level factors associated with, and the spatial distribution of, predictors of COVID-19 severity, and uptake of influenza and hepatitis B (as a negative control) vaccines across NYC. Data were obtained from the 2018 Community Health Survey (CHS), including self-reported influenza and hepatitis B vaccine uptake, diabetes, asthma, hypertension, body mass index (BMI), age, race/ ethnicity, educational attainment, borough, and United Hospital Fund (UHF) neighborhood of residence. A CDC-defined COVID-19 severity risk score was created with variables available in the CHS, including diabetes, asthma, hypertension, BMI ≥ 30 kg/m 2 , and age ≥65 years old. After adjustment, there was a significant positive association between COVID-19 severity risk score and influenza vaccine

“…Likewise, in residential centers for the elderly, the objective should be to achieve a minimum annual vaccination coverage against the influenza virus of over 75%, both in institutionalized persons and in the health and direct care personnel of the centers [49][50][51][52][53][54][55].…”

Infection control in long term care institutions for the elderly: A reflection document on the situation in Spain

A progressively increasing percentage of the elderly live during the last years of their lives in nursing homes. Although these institutions are intended to mimic life at home as much as possible, they have characteristics that make them quite similar to a “nosocomiun”, i.e. an establishment for the treatment of the sick. The very coexistence among the elderly, the fact of sharing caregivers and the very significant exposure to third parties, together with the frequent predisposing diseases to infection in this population, make infection frequent among residents and also easily transmissible. This leads us to ask what can be done to prevent infection in this environment and more specifically what is the state of the art of the matter in a Western European nation such as ours. The Board of Trustees of the Health Sciences Foundation has asked itself a series of questions on the subject of infection prevention in Nursing Homes, the structure of procedures, the legislation available, compliance with the measures indicated, the best indicators of the processes and therefore, the need to promote in Spain a document of recommendations to avoid infections in this poplation whose morbidity and mortality need not be highlighted. To this end, a multidisciplinary group of experts in different aspects of this problem has been convened and asked the proposed questions. The questions were discussed by the group as a whole and led to a series of conclusions agreed upon by the participants. The results of the meeting are reported below.
