Seasonal Influenza Vaccination Prevalence and Factors Associated with Vaccination Behaviors among Saudi Adults after the COVID-19 Pandemic

Haifa M. Al Nafea, Aida A. Korish, Maha F. Algabbani.


Abstract
Background and Aims:
The seasonal influenza vaccinations play a crucial role in preventing the spread of influenza virus and reducing the risk of severe illness. Understanding the prevalence of seasonal influenza vaccinations and the factors associated with it is essential for public health interventions and vaccine promotion. In this study, we examine the prevalence and factors associated with vaccination behavior among Saudi adults after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted. The data was collected through structured self-reported questionnaires administered online. The study involved 848 participants ranging in age from 18 to 50 years old.

Results:
The prevalence of seasonal influenza vaccinations was 42.3%. Sex was significantly associated with seasonal influenza vaccinations with males being more likely to take the seasonal influenza vaccinations. There was also a decrease in reporting seasonal influenza vaccinations in families with six members or more. COVID-19 doses were associated with seasonal influenza vaccinations

Conclusions:
A considerable proportion of the Riyadh population did not prioritize the flu vaccine. Females and members of large families need to be the focus of healthcare education programs to raise awareness of seasonal influenza vaccinations. Health professionals, policymakers, and public health organizations could use this information to promote healthy behaviors and increase influenza vaccination rates.

Key words: Seasonal influenza vaccinations, Prevalence, COVID-19 pandemic, Public health interventions, Vaccine promotion
