- W2314809971 abstract "Background: Influenza and pneumococcal vaccine uptake rates have been consistently low among community-dwelling seniors in Singapore. Our Institute set up a vaccination education booth at a community-based health event for seniors, with the aims of assessing the knowledge, attitudes, practices and behaviours (KAPBs) of seniors towards influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, and evaluating the effectiveness of short educational messages in motivating seniors to receive vaccination. Methods & Materials: Participating staff were pre-briefed on a standardised process to engage seniors, consisting of three components: a short KAPB survey on influenza and pneumococcal vaccines; an educational brief providing basic information about the vaccines, including their purpose, cost and availability; and an invitation to receive vaccination at the senior's local healthcare provider. Results of our engagement were collated and analysed. Multiple logistic regression models were applied to determine factors associated with willingness to getting vaccinated. Results: A total of 124 seniors were engaged. The median age was 70 years (IQR 63-76 years). Majority of seniors were female (83.9%) and of Chinese ethnicity (91.9%). 85 (68.5%) were aware of the existence of influenza vaccine, but only 36 (29.0%) had ever received it. 31 (25.0%) were aware of pneumococcal vaccine, but only 10 (8.1%) had ever received it. 72 (58.1%) seniors could state at least one health benefit of vaccination. Following our educational brief, 82 (66.1%) stated they would advise their friends to receive influenza and pneumococcal vaccines, and 86 (69.4%) stated willingness to receive vaccination. 55 (66.2%) out of 83 seniors aged ≥65 years had never received influenza or pneumococcal vaccine before, but 35 of them (63.6%) were willing to after our education brief. In seniors ≥65 years, being able to name at least one health benefit of vaccination was significantly associated with willingness to be vaccinated, after adjusting for gender and history of receiving vaccines (Adjusted OR = 3.26, 95%CI 1.20-8.85; p=0.02). Conclusion: Short educational messages may serve as useful cues to action to motivate seniors to receive vaccination. This is especially among those with prior knowledge of the benefits of vaccination, where supplementary information (such as vaccination schedule, cost, and the means of accessing services) may facilitate vaccine uptake." @default.
