To identify and evaluate the key clinical, demographic, and modifiable factors associated with seasonal influenza vaccination uptake among adults.
Searched EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Electronic Theses Online Service through November 2013 using a standardized critical appraisal framework to evaluate methodological quality.
Identified and synthesized data from 23 eligible articles, including 21 quantitative observational studies focused on adult populations.
Advancing age (OR 1.06–23.7) and the presence of underlying chronic diseases (OR 1.38–13.7) were strongly associated with higher influenza vaccine uptake.
Perceptions of vaccine efficacy (OR 2.7–10.55) and vaccine safety and adverse events (OR 10.5) exerted a substantially stronger influence on uptake than baseline knowledge about influenza.
Recommendations from doctors, healthcare professionals, family, or close friends, as well as the provision of free vaccination, served as key modifiable facilitators of vaccine uptake in adults aged 18–64.
