Abstract

Background: Influenza-related absenteeism causes significant economic implications. Vaccination is the most effective intervention for preventing influenza infection and its complications. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of seasonal influenza vaccination as well as to identify factors associated with seasonal influenza vaccination among working-age adults in Poland.

Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of a dataset generated during the representative cross-sectional survey among adults aged 18-64 years in Poland (December 2024). In the study group (n = 5006), 49.9% were women.

Results: Among all respondents, 16.9% declared getting vaccinated against influenza in the last 3 years: 8.2% were vaccinated several times during this period, and 8.8% were vaccinated once. There were several socio-demographic differences (p < 0.05) in the influenza vaccination uptake. Among working-age adults, male gender (OR: 1.83, 95% CI: 1.55-2.15, p < 0.001), age 18-24 years (OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 2.05-3.39; p < 0.001), living in cities over 100,000 residents (p < 0.05), having a part-time job (OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.08-1.73; p < 0.01), very good household financial situation (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.19-2.24; p < 0.01), frequent infections throughout the year (p < 0.05), having chronic diseases (p < 0.05), taking dietary supplements regularly (OR: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.36-2.03; p < 0.001) and personal beliefs on doctors' competencies (p < 0.05) were significantly associated with getting vaccinated against influenza in the last 3 years.

Conclusions: This study revealed very low influenza vaccination coverage rates in working-age adults in Poland. Public health interventions are needed to address gaps in influenza vaccination uptake among working-age adults.

与季节性流感疫苗接种相关的因素在波兰工作年龄的成年人：一项全国性的横断面调查。

背景：流感相关的旷工造成重大的经济影响。疫苗接种是预防流感感染及其并发症最有效的干预措施。本研究旨在评估季节性流感疫苗接种的流行程度，并确定波兰工作年龄成年人中季节性流感疫苗接种的相关因素。方法：本研究是对波兰18-64岁成年人代表性横断面调查（2024年12月）中产生的数据集进行二次分析。在研究组（n = 5006）中，49.9%为女性。结果：在所有受访者中，16.9%的人表示在最近3年内接种过流感疫苗，8.2%的人在此期间多次接种流感疫苗，8.8%的人接种过一次流感疫苗。在流感疫苗接种方面存在一些社会人口统计学差异（p < 0.05）。在工作年龄的成年人,男性性别(OR: 1.83, 95%置信区间CI: 1.55 - -2.15, p < 0.001), 18 - 24岁(OR: 2.63, 95% CI: 2.05—-3.39;p < 0.001),生活在城市超过100000居民(p < 0.05),有一个兼职工作(OR: 1.37; 95%置信区间:1.08—-1.73;p < 0.01),很好的家庭财务状况(OR: 1.64; 95%置信区间:1.19—-2.24;p < 0.01),全年频繁感染(p < 0.05),慢性疾病(p < 0.05),定期服用膳食补充剂(OR: 1.66; 95%置信区间:1.36—-2.03;P < 0.001)和对医生能力的个人信念（P < 0.05）与最近3年内接种流感疫苗有显著相关。结论：本研究显示，波兰工作年龄成年人的流感疫苗接种率非常低。需要采取公共卫生干预措施，以解决工作年龄成年人在接种流感疫苗方面的差距。
