Immunisation of infants is effective and benefits the health of the children immunised as well as the community where uptake is high. Any social inequality in uptake will worsen any social inequalities that already exist.
To investigate the demographic characteristics of families attending for swine flu vaccination.
A prospective study in a semi-rural general practice in South Wales.
Data were collected by questionnaire, and logistic regression models were used to test for associations between potential risk factors (including family demographic characteristics and the child's previous vaccination history) and swine flu vaccination uptake.
No evidence was found of any significant associations between potential risk factors and the outcome.
This suggests that social inequality did not affect vaccination uptake in this sample.
婴儿免疫接种是有效的,有益于接种儿童的健康,也有益于接种率高的社区。任何接种率方面的社会不平等都会加剧已经存在的任何社会不平等。
调查接种猪流感疫苗的家庭的人口统计学特征。
在威尔士南部的一个半农村普通实践中进行的前瞻性研究。
通过问卷调查收集数据,并使用逻辑回归模型检验潜在风险因素(包括家庭人口统计学特征和儿童以前的疫苗接种史)与猪流感疫苗接种率之间的关联。
没有发现潜在风险因素与结果之间存在任何显著关联。
这表明在本样本中,社会不平等并未影响疫苗接种率。
