Racial Factors that Affect Adult Vaccination Uptake

  • Ongoing vaccination disparities, with Hispanic populations consistently having the lowest coverage for influenza and pneumococcal vaccines
  • Door-to-door, population-based survey was conducted in ten Chicago communities from 2015 to 2016
  • 1543 adults that completed the survey
  • Study participants who received the influenza vaccination were more likely to be female, older, and insured
  • Black study participants who had high confidence and trust in their doctor were more likely to be vaccinated (45% vs 20%; P < .01)
  • Trust or confidence had no effect on influenza vaccination for Hispanic participants.
