提高劳动年龄人群流感疫苗接种覆盖率，有必要了解流感疫苗接种现状和认知。本研究旨在确定日本流感疫苗接种覆盖率以及接种疫苗或不接种疫苗的原因。 2011 年 9 月进行了一项基于互联网的匿名调查。我们的目标研究规模是 3,000 名 20 至 69 岁之间的参与者，其中五个年龄组（20-29、30-39、40-49、50-59 和 60-69）各约 300 名男性和 300 名女性。我们询问了上一年流感疫苗的接种史以及接种或不接种的原因。受访者共有 3,129 名，其中 24.2% 的男性及 27.6% 的女性在 2010 年 10 月至 2011 年 3 月期间接种过流感疫苗。在接种疫苗的受访者中，接种流感疫苗的主要原因是“想避免感染流感病毒”（男性：84.0%；女性：82.6%）和“即使感染了流感，也想防止症状恶化” （男性：60.7%；女性：66.4%）。未接种流感疫苗的人群中，最常见的不接种流感疫苗的原因包括“没有时间去医疗机构”（男性：32.0%；女性：22.4%）和“不太可能感染流感”（男性：25.1%；女性：22.7%）。接种流感疫苗的原因因年龄组和性别而异。为了提高未接种疫苗的工作年龄参与者对流感疫苗接种的认识，可能需要根据性别和年龄组采取不同的干预方法。
To improve influenza vaccination coverage in the working age population, it is necessary to understand the current status and awareness of influenza vaccination. This study aimed to determine influenza vaccination coverage in Japan and reasons for receiving the vaccine or not. An anonymous internet-based survey was performed in September 2011. Our target study size was 3,000 participants between 20 and 69 years of age, with approximately 300 men and 300 women in each of five age groups (20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, and 60–69). We asked the history of influenza vaccine uptake in the previous year, and reasons for having vaccination or not. There were 3,129 respondents, of whom 24.2% of males and 27.6% of females received influenza vaccination between October 2010 and March 2011. Among those who were vaccinated, the main reasons for receiving the influenza vaccine were “Wanted to avoid becoming infected with influenza virus” (males: 84.0%; females: 82.6%) and “Even if infected with influenza, wanted to prevent the symptoms from becoming serious” (males: 60.7%; females: 66.4%). Among those not vaccinated, the most frequent reasons for not receiving the influenza vaccine included “No time to visit a medical institution” (males: 32.0%; females: 22.4%) and “Unlikely to become infected with influenza” (males: 25.1%; females: 22.7%). The reasons for receiving the influenza vaccine varied between age groups and between sexes. To heighten awareness of influenza vaccination among unvaccinated working age participants, different intervention approaches according to sex and age group may be necessary.
