Abstract

Objectives: In 2014, New York City initiated a childcare influenza vaccine requirement to increase influenza vaccination rates among children aged 6-59 months attending city-regulated childcare, including prekindergarten. We evaluated the requirement's effect on vaccination rates in childcare-aged children in New York City.

Methods: We examined influenza vaccination rates in children aged 6-59 months and by age groups of 1, 2, 3, and 4 years for 8 influenza seasons (2012-2013 through 2019-2020), representing 2 seasons before the requirement, 2 seasons during the requirement, 2 seasons after its suspension, and 2 seasons after its reinstatement. We also assessed rates in a comparison group of children aged 5-8 years. We performed a difference-in-differences analysis to compare rate differences in age groups when the requirement was and was not in effect. We considered P < .05 as significant based on the Wald χ2 test.

Results: Influenza vaccination rates among children aged 6-59 months increased 3.7 percentage points (from 47.7% to 51.4%) by the requirement's second year and declined 6.7 percentage points to 44.7% after suspension. After reinstatement, rates increased 10.7 percentage points to 55.4%. Rate changes were most pronounced among 4-year-olds, increasing 12.7 percentage points (from 45.3% to 58.0%) by the requirement's second year, declining 14.1 percentage points to 43.9% after suspension, and increasing 22.2 percentage points to 66.1% after reinstatement. In the comparison group, rates increased 4.9 percentage points (from 36.5% to 41.4%) after reinstatement. Rates increased significantly among 4-year-olds before versus at the initial requirement and decreased significantly after suspension. After reinstatement, rates increased significantly among all groups except 1-year-olds.

Conclusion: The New York City influenza vaccine requirement improved influenza vaccination rates among preschool-aged children, adding to the evidence base showing that vaccine requirements raise vaccination rates.

托儿所流感疫苗接种要求对接种率的影响,纽约市,2012-2020 年。
目标:2014 年,纽约市启动了一项托儿所流感疫苗接种要求,以提高参加市监管托儿所(包括学前班)的 6-59 个月儿童的流感疫苗接种率。我们评估了该要求对纽约市托儿所适龄儿童疫苗接种率的影响:我们对 8 个流感季节(2012-2013 年至 2019-2020 年)中 6-59 个月大的儿童以及 1、2、3 和 4 岁年龄组的流感疫苗接种率进行了调查,这 8 个流感季节分别为要求实施前的 2 个季节、要求实施期间的 2 个季节、要求暂停实施后的 2 个季节以及要求恢复实施后的 2 个季节。我们还评估了对比组 5-8 岁儿童的发病率。我们进行了差异分析,以比较要求生效和未生效时各年龄组的发病率差异。我们考虑了 P 2 检验:在规定实施的第二年,6-59 个月儿童的流感疫苗接种率提高了 3.7 个百分点(从 47.7% 提高到 51.4%),而在规定暂停实施后,接种率下降了 6.7 个百分点,降至 44.7%。恢复后,比率增加了 10.7 个百分点,达到 55.4%。4 岁儿童的比率变化最为明显,到要求实施的第二年,比率上升了 12.7 个百分点(从 45.3% 上升到 58.0%),停学后下降了 14.1 个百分点,为 43.9%,复学后上升了 22.2 个百分点,为 66.1%。在对比组中,复学后的比率增加了 4.9 个百分点(从 36.5%增至 41.4%)。4 岁儿童中,停学前与最初要求停学时的比率明显上升,停学后则明显下降。恢复接种后,除 1 岁儿童外,其他年龄组的接种率均大幅上升:结论:纽约市的流感疫苗接种要求提高了学龄前儿童的流感疫苗接种率,为疫苗接种要求提高接种率的证据基础做出了补充。
