Sociodemographic disparities in influenza vaccination among older adults in United States.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Influenza vaccination uptake among United States adults aged 65 years or older remains suboptimal and stagnant. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of influenza vaccination and examine sociodemographic disparities within a nationally representative sample. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional study. We used the data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System spanning the years 2011 to 2022. Logistic regression models were used to assess potential associations between influenza vaccination uptake and sociodemographic characteristics. Concentration indexes were also calculated to measure the socioeconomic inequalities on influenza vaccination uptake. Results: The study included 1,391,440 adults aged 65 years and older, with 62.87% reporting having received an influenza vaccination. The weighted prevalence of influenza vaccination uptake showed a slight increase, ranging from 59.05% in 2011-2013 to 67.49% in 2020-2022. Higher vaccination rates were observed among non-Hispanic Whites [63.16%; odds ratio (OR) 1.38, (95% CI 1.33-1.42)], individuals with education above high school [63.89%; OR 1.16, (95% CI 1.12-1.19)], and those with an income above $50,000 [65.86%; OR 1.47, (95% CI 1.43-1.50)]. Compared to non-Hispanic Black people with an income below $25,000 and education less than high school, the ORs were significantly higher among non-Hispanic whites [2.12, (95% CI 1.97-2.28)], non-Hispanic Black people [1.30, (95% CI 1.18-1.44)], and Hispanics [1.40, (95% CI 1.24-1.59)] earning above $50,000 and education above high school. Those who received an influenza vaccination tended to be concentrated in the high-income group and high-education group. Conclusion: There are substantial racial and socioeconomic disparities in influenza vaccination uptake among individuals aged 65 years or older. Health policy maybe urgently needed to reduce these avoidable inequalities.
