Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate vaccination rates and identify factors associated with vaccine uptake among patients with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIRD) in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan.

Methods: An anonymous survey was conducted between January and May 2023 using Google Forms™. Adult AIRD patients and rheumatologists were asked about demographics, disease characteristics, vaccination status, and attitudes towards vaccination. Logistic regression and Random Forest analyses were used to identify factors influencing vaccination rates.

Results: A total of 1637 AIRD patients responded. Vaccination rates were as follows: herpes zoster (HZ) 8.8%, influenza 86.7%, pneumococcus 29.7%, HPV 4.3%, HBV 8.7%, and SARS-CoV-2 92.2%. Physician recommendations were significantly associated with higher vaccination rates. Although knowledge of vaccine efficacy correlated with increased uptake, it did not fully alleviate vaccine hesitancy. Major barriers included concerns about adverse effects and lack of sufficient information.

Conclusions: Physician recommendations and providing comprehensive vaccine information are essential for improving vaccination rates among AIRD patients. Addressing concerns about vaccine safety and efficacy through targeted educational interventions and communication strategies is crucial to enhancing vaccine uptake.

日本自身免疫性风湿病患者的疫苗相关环境和患者偏好

目的：评估日本神奈川县自身免疫性炎症性风湿病（AIRD）患者的疫苗接种率并确定与疫苗摄取相关的因素。方法：在2023年1月至5月期间使用谷歌Forms™进行匿名调查。成人AIRD患者和风湿病学家被问及人口统计学、疾病特征、疫苗接种状况和对疫苗接种的态度。采用Logistic回归和随机森林分析确定影响疫苗接种率的因素。结果：共有1637例AIRD患者有应答。疫苗接种率：带状疱疹（HZ） 8.8%，流感86.7%，肺炎球菌29.7%,HPV 4.3%, HBV 8.7%, SARS-CoV-2 92.2%。医生建议与较高的疫苗接种率显著相关。虽然对疫苗功效的了解与疫苗摄取增加相关，但这并不能完全减轻对疫苗的犹豫。主要障碍包括对不利影响的担忧和缺乏足够的信息。结论：医师推荐和提供全面的疫苗信息对提高AIRD患者的疫苗接种率至关重要。通过有针对性的教育干预和传播战略来解决对疫苗安全性和有效性的关切，对于加强疫苗的吸收至关重要。
