This systematic review analyzes research examining racial/ethnic disparities in influenza and pneumococcal vaccination coverage between White and racial/ethnic minority (Black and Hispanic) nursing home residents. A review of the literature for years 1966-2014 using Medline, Web of Science, and PubMed was conducted. The Epidemiological Appraisal Instrument was used to appraise the quality of the 13 included studies. Overall, articles were strong in reporting and data analysis, but weak in sample selection and measurement quality. Disparities between vaccination coverage among racial/ethnic minorities versus Whites ranged from 2% to 20% for influenza and 6% to 15% for pneumococcal vaccination. Researchers reported racial/ethnic minorities were more likely to refuse vaccinations and less likely to have vaccinations offered and their vaccination status tracked compared to Whites. Policies/strategies that focus on ensuring racial/ethnic minorities are offered influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations and their vaccination status are tracked in nursing homes are warranted. Updated evaluation on vaccination disparities is also needed.

:这篇系统的综述分析了研究白人和种族/少数民族(黑人和西班牙裔)疗养院居民之间在流感和肺炎球菌疫苗接种覆盖率方面的种族/种族差异。使用Medline,Web of Science和PubMed对1966-2014年的文献进行了回顾。流行病学评估工具用于评估13项纳入研究的质量。总体而言,文章在报告和数据分析方面表现出色,但在样品选择和测量质量方面表现不佳。种族/族裔少数民族与白人之间的疫苗接种覆盖率之间的差异在流感的2%至20%和肺炎球菌疫苗的6%至15%之间。研究人员报告说,与白人相比,种族/族裔少数群体拒绝接种疫苗的可能性更高,提供疫苗接种的可能性也更低,并且追踪其接种状况的可能性也较小。着重确保向种族/族裔少数群体提供流感和肺炎球菌疫苗的政策/策略应得到保证,并在疗养院中跟踪其疫苗接种状况。还需要对疫苗接种差异进行最新评估。
