Abstract:

The influenza vaccine is the primary preventive public health intervention for this disease. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of influenza vaccination in the elderly, according to indicators of functional capacity, fragility, support and social involvement and health status. Cross-sectional study conducted in 2008-2009 in Campinas (Part of FIBRA, Unicamp) with probability sample of elderly (&#8805; 65 years). The dependent variable was the flu vaccination in the 12 months preceding the survey. The adjusted prevalence ratios were estimated using multivariate Poisson regression. Of the 679 elderly, 74.4% reported vaccination in the previous year. The prevalence of vaccination was significantly higher among men and lower among those with higher education. The slowness of the march was positively associated with vaccination, as well as most of the indicators of social involvement. The social engagement can contribute to better adherence to vaccination against seasonal influenza and should be valued for the expansion of vaccine coverage in Campinas.
