Abstract

Objectifs: Apport des résultats de l'enquête nationale conduite en Australie en 2000. Les objectifs étaient d'estimer la couverture vaccinale contre l'influenza pour chaque état et territoire de l'Australie, d'obtenir des informations sur les attitudes envers la vaccination et les facteurs influençant la décision de se vacciner, et expliquer les facteurs responsables de la non vaccination. Méthodes: Enquête menée en utilisant une interview téléphonique assistée par ordinateur. La participation a été de 88.6% et le nombre total d'interviews réalisées dans toute l'Australie a été de n=10505. Résultats: Les deux groupes identifiés étaient les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus et celles «à risque» pour l'influenza âgées de 40 à 64 ans. Le taux de vaccination total dans ces deux groupes était de 74% et 32%, respectivement. Le taux de vaccination chez les femmes est en général plus grand que chez les hommes. Un modèle multivarié a généré le meilleur ensemble de variables expliquant la non vaccination. Il inclut le sexe, le revenu, la recommandation du médecin généraliste et la perception générale de l'injection du vaccin. Conclusions: L'étude a identifié des aspects importants dans la décision des gens de se faire vacciner. Elle a aussi souligné le besoin de fixer des objectifs pour une politique de vaccination efficace et d'établir une stratégie pour améliorer la santé de ceux qui sont à risque des complications de la grippe.
