Abstract: Objective To analyze the vaccination will and its influencing factors of pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in elderly diabetic patients. Methods The elderly patients with diabetes who received regular physical examination in a health service center of a hospital in Shanghai from April 2019 to April 2020 were investigated. The “PPV23 pneumonia vaccination willingness questionnaire” was designed to investigate the basic conditions of elderly patients and the PPV23 pneumonia vaccination willingness, and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the PPV23 pneumonia vaccination willingness of the elderly patient group. Results A total of 1 240 elderly patients were investigated, with an average age of (68.35±5.13) years, of which 546 (44.03%) were willing to receive PPV23 pneumonia vaccine. Multivariate analysis showed that the younger the age (OR=4.346), the higher the family's highest education (high school or technical secondary school, OR=2.269; junior college and above, OR=2.173), a history of chronic respiratory disease (OR=2.548), the belief that pneumonia was severe disease (OR=1.756), worried about owning pneumonia disease (OR=1.861), knowing that PPV23 pneumonia vaccination could prevent pneumonia (OR=2.085), family members suffered chronic respiratory disease (OR=4.166), family members or friends recommended vaccination PPV23 pneumonia vaccine (OR=3.572), doctors recommended vaccination PPV23 pneumonia vaccine(OR=2.604), the more likely the elderly diabetic patients to be vaccinated with PPV23 pneumonia vaccine. Conclusion Elderly diabetic patients have low willingness to vaccinate PPV23 pneumonia vaccine. Ages, history of chronic respiratory diseases, knowledge of pneumonia and vaccines, and doctor's advice are related factors affect their willingness to vaccinate. It is recommended to strengthen the publicity and education on the preventive effect and safety of pneumonia vaccine to improve the awareness of PPV23 pneumonia vaccine in elderly diabetic patients.
