- W2982167747 abstract "Abstract Background Vaccination coverage among US adults for tetanus, a potentially fatal disease, continues to be lower than the national goals. Education has been considered to have positive impact on vaccination coverage. However, recently there have been outbreaks of vaccine preventable conditions in areas with high college completion rates. This study aims to assess the relationship between education and vaccination coverage. Specifically, we looked at the association between education level and tetanus vaccination status of the US adults. Methods Data from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, a self-reported annual survey for non-institutionalized adults in the United States from the Centers for Disease Control, were analyzed. The outcome was up-to-date tetanus coverage (within the last 10 years) defined by the response to: have you received tetanus vaccine since 2005? Education was stratified into four categories: (1) grade 11 or less, (2) grade 12/GED, 3) college 1–3 years, and (4) college 4 or more years. Bivariate analyses and multivariable logistic regression were conducted on the analytic sample (n = 417,473) using Stata 15, accounting for weighting and the complex survey design of the BRFSS. Results This study identified that 59.9% of US adults are up-to-date on the tetanus vaccine status (Table 1). Higher education level was found to be associated with increased odds of up to date tetanus vaccination. The highest odds were for those with 4 or more years of college education [aOR = 1.31; 95% CI: 1.26–1.35)] while the lowest odds were for those less than grade 11 education, when compared with those with a high school degree [aOR = 0.93; 95% CI: 0.88–0.98] (Figure 1). Other covariates identified as negatively associated with up-to-date tetanus status were race/ethnicity, female sex, unemployment, not being married, not having insurance or a personal healthcare provider, and being above 45 years of age (Figure 1). Conclusion This study identified a positive association between up-to-date tetanus status and higher education level. Introducing community-specific vaccination education programs for those without tertiary education, especially for those above age 45 and without insurance, may help increase the overall vaccination status in the United States.
