Using Influenza as a Predictor of COVID-19 Vaccination Receipt among Lower-Income Adults in the United States

Abstract

Christeon M Gaskin*

Objectives: With the dispersal of a vaccine to aid in mitigating SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) transmission, historical vaccination coverage rates can aid in intervention strategies for the COVID-19 pandemic. This short communication examined the relationship between income and receiving influenza vaccination among U.S. adults.

Methods: This short communication examined existing research regarding the effect that income has on influenza and COVID-19 vaccination receipt throughout the nation.

Results: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all individuals (>6 months) receive the influenza (flu) vaccination each year. Yet, flu coverage rates in the US are only 45.3% among adults ≥ 18 years. Similarly, less than two thirds of Americans have received their COVID-19 vaccinations.

Conclusion: In order to increase COVID-19 vaccination receipt, additional research should further examine the relationship between COVID-19 vaccination and income among adults living in the United States.
