Promoting Influenza Vaccinationamong the Risk Population
Keywords:
Influenza, Influenza vaccine, Promoting vaccination, Risk populationAbstract
Influenza remains a major global health problem, although significant progress has been made in the prevention and control of this infection. Influenza vaccine is the most effective methods for prevention of influenza. This vaccine has been shown to reduce the incidence of confirmed influenza, severity of disease, and influenza-related complications. Moreover, influenza vaccination significantly reduces hospitalization and in-hospital mortality among adults with chronic diseases. However, influenza vaccination coverage rates for those at risk of developing influenza-related complications in many countries, including Thailand, do not achieve the target rate set by the WHO. Healthcare workers can play an important role in promoting influenza vaccination for people in the risk groups to reach vaccination target in order to reduce the burden of influenza. Nurses are a vital part of healthcare teams and a risk group for influenza. Therefore, they need to have knowledge about influenza, the vaccine, factors influencing vaccination, and strategies to promote influenza vaccination. These strategies include providing patient educationand information about influenza andvaccine safety, providing more convenient access to vaccination and ensuring the adequacy of vaccine supply, as well asbeing a role model for patients-receiving a flu vaccination. This can help to effectively promote influenza vaccination among risk population.
