In our study, we intended to observe the impact of recommending the pneumococcal vaccine to individuals who were called on the phone or interviewed face-to-face by their doctors on vaccination rates.
Two hundred individuals who were 65 years old and older were included in our study. They were questioned about their awareness regarding adult immunisation, and their knowledge level and vaccination statuses were determined regarding the tetanus, influenza, hepatitis, and pneumococcal vaccines. After they were given information about the pneumococcal vaccine, they were asked about their interest in being vaccinated. Those who agreed to be vaccinated were invited and vaccinated.
According to the questionnaire, 150 people (75%) knew of the influenza vaccine, 130 people (65%) knew of the tetanus vaccine, 53 people (26.5%) knew of the hepatitis B vaccine, and 49 people (24.5%) knew of the pneumococcal vaccine. A total of five people (2.5%) had received the pneumococcal vaccine. Fifty-eight of 97 patients (59.8%) who completed the questionnaire during a phone call and 84 of 103 patients (81.6%) who completed the questionnaire during a face-to-face interview received the pneumococcal vaccine. As a result, the rates of pneumococcal vaccination increased from 2.5% before the study to 73.5% after the study.
The findings show that the vaccination rates for pneumococcus were very low among our participants. The immunisation rates increased when doctors provided consultation to participants about adult immunisation.
在我们的研究中，我们旨在观察通过电话或面对面访谈医生向个人推荐肺炎球菌疫苗对疫苗接种率的影响。
我们的研究纳入了 200 名 65 岁及以上的个体，对他们进行了有关成人免疫接种的意识、破伤风、流感、肝炎和肺炎球菌疫苗的知识水平和接种状况的问卷调查。在为他们提供有关肺炎球菌疫苗的信息后，询问他们对接种疫苗的兴趣。那些同意接种疫苗的人被邀请并接种了疫苗。
根据问卷，150 人（75%）知道流感疫苗，130 人（65%）知道破伤风疫苗，53 人（26.5%）知道乙肝疫苗，49 人（24.5%）知道肺炎球菌疫苗。总共有 5 人（2.5%）接种了肺炎球菌疫苗。在电话访问中完成问卷的 97 名患者中有 58 名（59.8%），在面对面访谈中完成问卷的 103 名患者中有 84 名（81.6%）接受了肺炎球菌疫苗。因此，肺炎球菌疫苗接种率从研究前的 2.5%上升到研究后的 73.5%。
研究结果表明，我们的参与者中肺炎球菌疫苗接种率非常低。当医生向参与者提供成人免疫接种咨询时，免疫接种率有所提高。
