Introduction:
Despite the positive impact of vaccination on health, influenza vaccination rates worldwide remain low for certain population groups. In Quebec, vaccination rates among populations with chronic diseases remain below what is expected by public health. Since this situation is also noticeable in rural areas, it is necessary to reflect on the current issues associated with low vaccination rates in the rural population.
Purpose Of Research:
The purpose of this commentary is to explore the importance of obtaining a multifactorial understanding of the problem raised in order to propose possible solutions to increase influenza vaccination rates among people living in rural areas.
