[h=3]Abstract[/h] [h=4]OBJECTIVE:[/h] To evaluate the coverage and timeliness of seasonal influenza vaccine vaccination (SIV) among children aged 6 months to 3 years from the 2010-11 through the 2014-15 seasons.
[h=4]METHODS:[/h] Children registered in Zhejiang Provincial Immunization Information System (ZJIIS) and needed two seasonal influenza vaccine doses in a given season from 2010-11 to 2014-15 were enrolled. Socio-economic information and SIV records of target children were extracted from ZJIIS on 1 January 2016. Any (≥1 dose) and full (2 doses) vaccination coverage by December 1 and March 31 as well as interval between two doses were calculated. Trends of coverage over time and determinants on fully vaccination coverage and interval between two doses were assessed.
[h=4]RESULTS:[/h] Full SIV overage by Mar 31 increased from the 2010-11 to the 2014-15 seasons (2.60% vs 2.92%). Less than 1% of children received two doses by December 1. The interval between two doses among fully vaccinated children decreased over time (2010-11: 68.32 days; 2014-15: 49.51 days; p<0.05). Age, socio-economic development level of resident areas were inversely associated with full vaccination coverage and resident children had a significantly higher full vaccination coverage. Younger age, resident children, receiving vaccination from higher service frequency clinics and clinics with morning & afternoon sessions were positive determinants of a shorter interval between two doses.
[h=4]CONCLUSION:[/h] Majority of children aged 6 months to 3 years remained at risk of incomplete and delayed SIV. The importance of the two-dose SIV recommendation needs to be emphasized and effective interventions needs to be implemented to improve the completeness and the timeliness of SIV.
