Factors associated with influenza vaccination rates by vaccination government financial support policy: A cross sectional study (KNHNES 2020)

Abstract

Abstract Objectives To investigate factors associated with influenza vaccination rates by vaccination government financial aid policy Methods We used the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2020), a nationally representative, cross-sectional, population-based study. A total of 5,582 participants were included. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze the effect on vaccination rate after adjusting for socioeconomic characteristics. Results Financial aid group (71.2%) is higher vaccinated than non-aid group (33.9%) in crude rate. In the both group low education levels showed significant relationships with the financial aid group (aOR 2.28; CI: 1.41–3.70) and the non-aid group (aOR 1.86; CI: 1.14–3.05). In not receiving support group, high income was significantly related to high vaccination rates (aOR 2.23; 95% CI: 1.45–3.44). Women showed high, self-employed health insurance type showed low vaccination rates. And occupation type showed significant relationships in only financial support group. Conclusion The vaccination rate had significant association by government financial support. In the future, to efficiently use limited resources, implementing strategic policies targeting appropriate factors for each group may be appropriate.
