Background.
The Hispanic population in the United States is growing, and disparities in the receipt of healthcare services as a result of limited English proficiency have been demonstrated.
We set out to determine if Spanish language preference was a barrier to receiving influenza vaccinations among Hispanic persons 65 years and older in the USA.
Methods.
Differences in the receipt of vaccinations by language preference were tested with both Chi-square analyses and adjusted logistic regression analyses.
Results.
Findings suggest that elderly Hispanic persons, 65 years of age and older, who prefer to communicate in Spanish instead of English, are significantly less likely to have received influenza vaccinations when compared to their Hispanic counterparts who prefer to communicate in English.
Conclusions.
Influenza infections can more often be fatal in older persons and may disparately affect minority populations such as Hispanic persons.
Therefore, understanding barriers to the receipt of effective preventive health measures is necessary.
