Ai Hori, an assistant professor of medical science at the University of Tsukuba, and Koji Wada, a professor at the Graduate School of Medicine, International University of Health and Welfare, conducted an online survey on vaccination against vaccinations for adult men. It turned out to be a big factor in making a decision.However, more than half knew the government's recommendations, and at the same time it became clear that the information was not sufficiently alive.
The survey was randomly selected from INTAGE registrants of Internet research companies, and valid responses were collected for about 1,600 people who visited the awareness of rubella and the usage status of regular vaccinations.The subjects of the survey are adult men aged 2018 to 2019 years in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka prefectures where rubella was prevalent from 41 to 47.
According to the report, 51% of the respondents answered that they received a rubella vaccination coupon from the local government, 26% had an antibody test, and 6% had a vaccination.Fifty-seven percent knew that the government recommended rubella vaccinations, and those who knew were more likely to get antibody tests and vaccinations.
Rubella is a vaccine that can prevent infection, but men born between 1962 and 1978 did not have the opportunity to be vaccinated.For this reason, each local government sent a free antibody test and a coupon to receive free vaccination if the antibody was insufficient, but the utilization rate was sluggish at about 2%.
