Education level and its relation to adult vaccination uptake

Education level is a socio demographic characteristic and is often associated with lack of access to sufficient and adequate healthcare. Generally, those reporting higher education in the US are more likely to report having received the influenza vaccine.
Lower vaccination coverage was detected among those with less education in the age group 65 or older.
Education level was found to have an effect on knowledge. Patients with a middle school education or lower and high school education were less knowledgeable about influenza and its vaccination compared to those who have a college degree or higher.
