摘要

目的本研究的目的是探讨2023年11月在比利时法兰德斯（Flanders）影响疫苗接种的一个因素——疫苗信心。该研究评估了对一般疫苗和特定疫苗（MMR、HPV、季节性流感和COVID-19）的信心。方法横断面调查1500人，其中普通人群（18岁）1000人，有子女（≤13岁）父母500人。使用疫苗信心指数™（VCI）测量疫苗信心。采用加权分析和多变量二元logistic回归来探讨影响疫苗信心的社会人口学和其他潜在预测因素之间的关系。结果77.9% （CI 75.0 ~ 80.8）的普通人群和81.6% （CI 76.5 ~ 86.6）的家长认为疫苗一般是安全的，两组均有80%的人认为疫苗对儿童是有效和重要的。总体而言，56.9% （CI 53.2-60.6）的普通人群和64.5% （CI 54.5-74.5）的家长认为疫苗是重要的、安全的、有效的，并与他们的信念相一致。在普通人群中，COVID-19疫苗（52.1% (CI 48.2-55.9)）和HPV疫苗（56.2% (CI 52.2-60.2)）的VCI评分较低，而在父母中，COVID-19疫苗（50.2% (CI 39.4-61.0)）和流感疫苗（61.7% (CI 51.5-72.0)）的VCI评分较低。老年人（45岁）和受教育程度较高的个体VCI得分较高。结论大多数参与者对疫苗有信心。虽然在包括比利时在内的整个欧洲都进行了定量监测，但这项监测研究的重点是法兰德斯，为今后的参考提供了有价值的基线。需要进行纵向研究，最好也包括定性研究，以进一步了解趋势以及如何建立和维持对法兰德斯的信心。

Investigating the state of vaccine confidence among the general public and parents with children up to 13 years in Flanders (Belgium)

Aim

The aim of this study was to explore vaccine confidence, a factor influencing vaccination uptake, in Flanders (Belgium) during November 2023. The study evaluated confidence in vaccines generally and in specific vaccines: MMR, HPV, seasonal influenza, and COVID-19.

Methods

This cross-sectional study surveyed 1500 individuals: 1000 from the general population (>18 years) and 500 parents with children (≤13 years). Vaccine confidence was measured using the Vaccine Confidence Index™ (VCI). Weighted analysis and multivariable binary logistic regressions were employed to explore the association between sociodemographic and other potential predictors influencing vaccine confidence.

Results

The results showed that 77.9 % (CI 75.0–80.8) of the general population and 81.6 % (CI 76.5–86.6) of parents considered vaccines to be generally safe, while >80 % of both groups saw them as effective and important for children. A total of 56.9 % (CI 53.2–60.6) of the general population and 64.5 % (CI 54.5–74.5) of the parents agreed that vaccines are important, safe, effective, and compatible with their beliefs. Lower VCI scores were observed for COVID-19 (52.1 % (CI 48.2–55.9)) and HPV vaccines (56.2 % (CI 52.2–60.2)) in the general population, and for COVID-19 (50.2 % (CI 39.4–61.0)) and influenza vaccines (61.7 % (CI 51.5–72.0)) among parents. Higher VCI scores were observed in older generations (>45 years) and higher-educated individuals.

Conclusion

Most participants are confident in vaccines. While quantitative monitoring has been conducted across Europe, including in Belgium, this monitoring study focuses on Flanders, providing a valuable baseline for future reference. Longitudinal research, preferably including also qualitative research, is needed to further understand trends and how to build and sustain confidence in Flanders.
