Abstract

In January 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted among elderly individuals aged ≥60 years at 24 vaccination units across 12 counties (districts) in 3 prefecture-level cities of Shaanxi Province to explore factors influencing influenza vaccination. Of the 700 respondents, 348 (49.71%) were vaccinated and 352 (50.29%) were unvaccinated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared with participants who had a primary school education or below, lived in rural areas, perceived a low risk of influenza infection, considered influenza vaccination unimportant for health, and had no family members, relatives, or friends vaccinated in the preceding six months, the following characteristics were significantly associated with a higher likelihood of vaccination: having a college degree or above (OR=2.765, 95%CI: 1.053-7.258), urban residence (OR=1.935, 95%CI: 1.238-3.026), high perceived risk of infection (OR=4.890, 95%CI: 2.284-10.469), a belief that vaccination was important for health (OR=10.956, 95%CI: 2.669-44.971), and having family members, relatives, or friends with a history of influenza vaccination (OR=5.071, 95%CI: 3.263-7.882).
