To improve the uptake of influenza vaccine in the elderly, it is important to understand the factors that predict vaccination. The study objective was to explain influenza vaccination uptake in the next season (2019/2020) in a sample of primary care clinic patients from Gryfino, Poland, vaccinated in 2018/2019 with the free-of-charge quadrivalent vaccine. A baseline and a follow-up survey assessed respondent intentions to receive a vaccine (2018), then (2020) vaccine uptake and its predictors. Patients ( n = 108, 54.6% males, M age = 66.7 ± 6.7) filled in a researcher-administered questionnaire. A majority (69.3%) intended to get vaccinated in the next season, with 25.9% receipt. Of those willing to be immunized, only 31.9% were vaccinated in the next season; of those whose decision was dependent on reimbursement, none received influenza vaccine; of undecided patients, 23.1% were vaccinated. Multivariable analysis indicated that living with a partner (OR 6.22, p = 0.01), being employed (OR = 4.55, p = 0.05) and past vaccination behavior (OR 4.12; p = 0.04) were predictors of vaccine uptake. The findings show limited follow-through on initial influenza vaccination plans for the nearest season in previously vaccinated elderly patients. Future interventions should additionally focus on unanticipated barriers to vaccination, such as those revealed in this study, to increase vaccination coverage rates.
