Abstract

OBJECTIVES

The aim of this study was to estimate the influenza vaccine coverage among children attending paediatric ER.

METHODS

The parents of patients attending paediatric ER during the winter of 2003-2004 were inquired about their children's influenza vaccination status, whether the vaccine was recommended by the primary paediatrician recommendation, the medical history, and about several epidemiological details.

RESULTS

Total of 557 questionnaires were completed. Mean age was 5.8 years. Only 23 of the 557 patients were vaccinated (4.1% coverage). Vaccine coverage in the 107 children from high risk groups was 6.5% and vaccination rate in the 144 infants aged 6-24 months was 2.7%. Influenza vaccine was recommended by the primary paediatricians in 59 cases (10.6%). Vaccine was recommended to 22.4% of patients from high risk groups, to 7.6% of infants aged 6-24 months of age and to 7.8% of the other children.

CONCLUSIONS

Influenza vaccine coverage among Israeli children is low, including patients from high-risk groups, and awareness of the primary paediatricians seems to be unsatisfactory.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估儿科急诊室就诊儿童的流感疫苗接种率。

方法

询问了2003 - 2004年冬季在儿科急诊室就诊患者的家长，了解其孩子的流感疫苗接种状况、是否由儿科初级医生推荐接种疫苗、病史以及一些流行病学细节。

结果

共完成557份问卷。平均年龄为5.8岁。557名患者中仅有23人接种了疫苗（接种率为4.1%）。107名高危组儿童的疫苗接种率为6.5%，144名6 - 24个月婴儿的接种率为2.7%。儿科初级医生推荐接种流感疫苗的有59例（10.6%）。高危组患者中22.4%被推荐接种疫苗，6 - 24个月婴儿中7.6%被推荐接种，其他儿童中7.8%被推荐接种。
