[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] Investigate determinants of receiving healthcare provider (HCP) recommendations for seasonal and H1N1 influenza vaccinations.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Using a United States national sample of adults 18 + from the National 2009 H1N1 Flu Survey, multivariate regression models estimated the likelihood of receiving a HCP recommendation. Covariates included demographics, socioeconomic status, and Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) priority groups.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] Adults age 55-64 and 65 + were more likely to report a HCP recommendation when compared to adults age 18-34 (OR: 1.483, 95%CI: 1.237-1.778 and OR: 1.738, 95%CI: 1.427-2.116, respectively). Chronically ill adults had 58.0% (95%CI: 1.414-1.765) higher odds of receiving a HCP recommendation than non-chronically ill adults. Patients visiting a doctor once and twice had 28.7% (95%CI: 0.618-0.821) and 17.1% (95%CI: 0.721-0.952) lower odds of receiving a HCP recommendation when compared to adults visiting their doctor at least four times. And, compared to Non-Hispanic Whites, Non-Hispanic Blacks had 28.4% (95%CI: 1.064-1.549) higher odds of receiving a recommendation.
[h=4]CONCLUSIONS:[/h] ACIP priority groups experienced higher rates of recommendations compared to non-ACIP groups. Racial differences in HCP recommendations cannot explain racial disparities in flu vaccination rates.
