Description
Shingles can be prevented by vaccine, yet many Poles have never heard of it. Justyna Grudziąż-Sękowska and co-authors surveyed one thousand one hundred thirty-seven adults across Poland in September twenty twenty-four. The web survey followed a new reimbursement policy for the vaccine. Only forty-seven percent knew the vaccine exists. Television was the top source of what people did know. Having a chronic disease raised the odds of awareness.
About sixty-four percent of eligible adults said they would take the vaccine. Having no children and a middling income each nudged willingness up. The authors call for media campaigns, stronger doctor engagement, and easier access. Awareness, they argue, is the first bottleneck to break.
