Pregnant women are at a high-risk of influenza infection. We have previously reported a low influenza vaccination coverage rate (4.0%) in Korea during the 2006-2007 influenza season. We conducted follow-up studies in 2011-2012 and 2018-2019 to observe changes in influenza vaccination coverage.
Women who delivered at Inha University Hospital (Incheon, Korea) in 2011-2012 and 2018-2019 were enrolled in the study. We surveyed the rate of influenza vaccination, perception scores, and related factors through telephonic interviews and compared the results from 2011-2012 and 2018-2019 with those from 2006-2007.
The number of survey respondents was 227 in 2006-2007, 152 in 2011-2012, and 171 in 2018-2019. The rate of vaccination coverage increased from 4.0% in 2006-2007 to 42.0% in 2011-2012 and 59.3% in 2018-2019. Perception scores also increased progressively from 3.8 in 2006-2007 to 4.2 in 2011-2012 and 5.1 in 2018-2019. Physician recommendations for influenza vaccination also increased from 4.8% in 2006-2007 to 36.8% in 2011-2012 and 49.7% in 2018-2019. The most common reason for not getting vaccinated was the lack of awareness of influenza vaccination during pregnancy (36.9%). The perception scores and physician recommendation rates were significantly lower for unvaccinated women (3.87 and 8.4%, respectively) than for vaccinated women (5.14 and 69.1%, respectively).
The influenza vaccination coverage rate in pregnant women has increased significantly since our study in 2006-2007. However, further improvement in the coverage rate is needed. There is a need for active and comprehensive publicity and education regarding this issue among physicians and pregnant women.
孕妇感染流感的风险很高。我们之前报道过，在2006 - 2007年流感季节，韩国孕妇流感疫苗接种率较低（4.0%）。我们在2011 - 2012年和2018 - 2019年进行了随访研究，以观察流感疫苗接种率的变化。
纳入2011 - 2012年和2018 - 2019年在仁川市仁荷大学医院分娩的女性参与研究。我们通过电话访谈调查了流感疫苗接种率、认知得分及相关因素，并将2011 - 2012年和2018 - 2019年的结果与2006 - 2007年的结果进行比较。
2006 - 2007年调查对象有227人，2011 - 2012年有152人，2018 - 2019年有171人。疫苗接种率从2006 - 2007年的4.0%升至2011 - 2012年的42.0%以及2018 - 2019年的59.3%。认知得分也逐步提高，从2006 - 2007年的3.8升至2011 - 2012年的4.2以及2018 - 2019年的5.1。医生对流感疫苗接种的推荐率也从2006 - 2007年的4.8%升至2011 - 2012年的36.8%以及2018 - 2019年的49.7%。未接种疫苗的最常见原因是孕期对流感疫苗接种缺乏认知（36.9%）。未接种疫苗的女性的认知得分和医生推荐率（分别为3.87和8.4%）显著低于接种疫苗的女性（分别为5.14和69.1%）。
自我们2006 - 2007年的研究以来，孕妇流感疫苗接种率显著提高。然而，接种率仍需进一步提高。需要在医生和孕妇中就该问题开展积极全面的宣传教育。
