Paper doi abstract bibtex Introduction: Influenza can lead to significant morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) as such it is recommended that SOTR receive annual influenza vaccination 6 months after transplantation. The reported rate of influenza vaccination among SOTR was 52% in previous studies. Method(s): A prospective study on influenza vaccination among SOTR followed up at Singapore General Hospital was performed from December 2014 to February 2015. The primary objective was to evaluate the rate of influenza vaccination among SOTR. Secondary objective was to identify potential barriers to receiving annual influenza vaccination. A survey regarding influenza vaccination was administered to SOTR. Pharmacists and nurses educated SOTR on the importance of annual influenza vaccination and addressed their concerns regarding vaccination if they had not received influenza vaccination in the previous year. SOTR were screened for the need for influenza vaccination, and the vaccine was administered if physicians and patients were agreeable. Result(s): A total of 165 SOTR were recruited into the study. Only 41 (24.8%) SOTR received influenza vaccination in the previous year. The barriers to vaccination reported by the SOTR (n = 124) include "not informed to receive the vaccination" (71.8%), "vaccination is not necessary" (29.8%), "afraid of the side effects from vaccination" (11.3%), "cost of vaccination too expensive" (5.6%), "troublesome to get vaccination" (4.0%). After education, 65.3% of SOTR who had not received vaccination last year were vaccinated. Conclusion(s): The rate of influenza vaccination among SOTR at our institution in the previous year was 25%. The main barrier identified from the survey was the lack of knowledge for the need for influenza vaccination. This allowed for tailoring of education for SOTR to improve their knowledge on the importance of influenza vaccination and also increase the rate of influenza vaccination among SOTR.
