Objective To understand the influenza vaccination status of permanent residents in Macao and analyze the influencing factors. Methods A stratified cluster sampling method was employed to conduct a questionnaire survey of permanent residents in Macao from November 16 to 22, 2020. The survey primarily included basic knowledge of influenza, individual vaccination behavior, and vaccination status of family members. Chi-square tests and univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were utilized to explore the factors influencing public vaccination against influenza. Results A total of 2 207 residents participated in the survey, with males accounting for 45.3% and females accounting for 54.7%. In total, 62.1% of respondents reported having received the influenza vaccine in the past 12 months, and 61.0% of respondents exhibited a low level of knowledge regarding influenza. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the likelihood of receiving the influenza vaccine was higher among older individuals (aged over 50, OR=3.064, 95%CI: 1.114-7.814), those with fewer family members (1-2 members, OR=1.752, 95%CI: 1.323-2.320), those with a moderate monthly household income (40 000-60 000 yuan, OR=1.126, 95%CI: 1.852-1.489), individuals with higher educational attainment (higher education, OR=1.167, 95%CI: 1.949-1.434), those in high-risk professions (healthcare workers compared to civil servants, OR=2.730, 95%CI: 1.700-4.383), individuals in poorer health who were not pregnant (healthy individuals compared to pregnant patients, OR=2.060, 95%CI: 1.634-1.772; chronic disease patients, OR=2.623, 95%CI: 1.948-2.779), and those with a higher level of vaccine knowledge (OR=1.531, 95%CI: 1.069-2.194). Conclusion The influenza vaccination rate in Macao is relatively high on a global scale. However, there is still a need to strengthen educational outreach regarding influenza vaccination, encourage residents to get vaccinated, and actively promote collective vaccination activities in schools and institutions to fully utilize the role of community immunity.
