Effectiveness Analysis of a Compromise Approach to Solving the Problem of Refusal of Influenza Vaccination

Abstract

Relevance. The ineffectiveness of current methods of engaging the population in vaccine prophylaxis leads to the need to develop new means of solving the problem of vaccination abandonment.Aims is to show the effect of applying the theory of compromise solutions to the analysis of the problem of refusal of influenza vaccination.Materials and methods. Data on number of vaccinated and morbidity among vaccinated and unvaccinated; the research method is based on the compilation of criteria reflecting the interests of the administration and the population, followed by finding a compromise solution and evaluating it using an indicator of tensions.Results. Based on data on morbidity among vaccinated and unvaccinated, the existence of an optimal percentage of vaccinated for the adult population and for each of the three risk groups is shown: medical staff, service employees and persons over 60 years of age; on the example of the group «persons over 60 years of age», the possibility of reducing tension in the case of replacing a single vaccination with a complex one is shown.Conclusion. The effectiveness of the application of the theory of compromise solutions to the assessment of tensions between the sanitary and epidemiological inspection service and the population in terms of vaccination is presented; the possibility of reducing tension by switching to complex immunoprophylaxis is presented.
