Association between asthma and influenza vaccine uptake among US adolescents: A retrospective survey study

Journal of Asthma Apr 14, 2021

Tran N, Cortright L, Buckman C, et al. - Researchers assessed adolescent influenza vaccination rates in relation to asthma, by utilizing nationally representative National Immunization Survey-Teen data. Participants were adolescents ages 13–17 years with provider-reported data on vaccine coverage. The analytic sample included 36,655 adolescents (mean age 15 years, 49% female), of those, 55% were up-to-date on influenza vaccination, and 21% had received a diagnosis of asthma. Findings revealed low seasonal influenza vaccination rates among adolescents. Although there are concerns regarding vaccine effectiveness in children suffering from asthma, there was an increased probability of influenza vaccination linked with this diagnosis, likely in relation to elevated healthcare use (and exposure to vaccine encouragement) among adolescents experiencing asthma. Asthma diagnosis was associated with greater likelihood of being up-to-date on seasonal influenza vaccination, as seen in multivariable analysis.
