The objectives of this study were to determine factors associated with hepatitis A vaccination and to assess overall hepatitis A vaccination coverage levels among one-year-olds in Michigan. The study population was the first hepatitis A vaccination-eligible birth cohort (n = 134 226) enrolled in the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR) after 2006 recommendations were made to routinely vaccinate all one-year-olds. All children whose first birthday occurred on or between May 1, 2006 and April 31, 2007 were included in the study population. Racial/ethnic minorities had increased odds of receiving the hepatitis A vaccination in Michigan, and Medicaid and WIC status modified this relationship. Fully understanding these relationships will be useful in targeting vaccination outreach and education programs.
本研究的目的是确定与甲型肝炎疫苗接种相关的因素,并评估密歇根州一岁儿童的总体甲型肝炎疫苗接种覆盖率。研究人群是2006年建议对所有一岁儿童进行常规疫苗接种后,纳入密歇根医疗改善登记处(MCIR)的首个符合甲型肝炎疫苗接种条件的出生队列(n = 134226)。2006年5月1日至2007年4月31日期间满一岁生日的所有儿童均纳入研究人群。在密歇根州,少数族裔接种甲型肝炎疫苗的几率有所增加,医疗补助和妇女、婴儿与儿童营养补充计划(WIC)的状况改变了这种关系。充分了解这些关系将有助于开展有针对性的疫苗接种推广和教育项目。
