ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Vaccine receipt among mid-adults remains low, with only one quarter of adults being up to date for all recommended vaccines. It is important to understand the myriad factors that influence vaccine receipt among mid-adult women to address these low rates.METHODS:
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of data from women ages 24-45 years collected as part of an ongoing case-control study of the effectiveness of HPV vaccine. We examined associations between demographic characteristics and healthcare utilization and receipt of individual vaccines and combinations of multiple vaccines using logistic regression analyses for three routinely recommended vaccines tetanus, influenza and HPV.RESULTS:
Among the 309 women enrolled in the study, only 19 (6.2%) were up to date for all three recommended vaccines and 41 (13.3%) had not received any of the recommended vaccines. A greater number of health care visits in the past year was associated with receipt of influenza (aOR = 6.37, 95% CI = 2.53, 16.1) and tetanus (aOR = 2.17, 95% CI = 1.14, 4.12) vaccines. White women were more likely to have received HPV vaccine (aOR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.07, 5.36).CONCLUSIONS:
Uptake of recommended vaccines is low among young and mid-adult women. There is a need for greater understanding of the underlying factors influencing vaccine receipt in this population.Palavras-chave
