Parents'willingness to vaccinate against influenza for their children and its influencing factors
Objective To investigate the willingness to receive influenza vaccination and its influencing factors among students'parents,and to provide references for improving the vaccination rate of influenza vaccines among students.Methods A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey in Fuyang City,Bozhou City and Xuancheng City from June to October in 2022.The parents'willingness to vaccinate their children against influenza was analyzed.Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed.Results Among 2,637 parents in the study,2,282(86.54％)were willing to vaccinate their children against influenza,while 355(13.46％)were unwilling to get the vaccine.The top three reasons for the parents'reluctance to receive influenza vaccines were fear of insecurity(61.56％),mild flu symptoms without vaccination(35.74％),high cost and low cost-effectiveness(27.93％).The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the scores of the parents'influenza-related knowledge literacy(OR=1.064),whether the parents received health education(OR=2.240),parental educational background(OR=1.106)and the students'history of influenza vaccination(OR=1.685)were independent risk factors affecting willingness of the parents to vaccinate their children against influenza(P＜0.05).Conclusion The parents had a high willingness to receive influenza vaccines,but still some parents were unwilling to receive them.Therefore,strengthening the parents'health education and publicity on influenza vaccines,improving the parents'flu awareness and expanding the benefits of vaccination are conducive to promoting the willingness of the parents to vaccinate their children against influenza.
