Abstract：Objective To provide evidence for effective implementation of influenza and pneumonia immune strategies, we investigated the awareness of influenza and pneumonia and the willingness of vaccination among chronic disease patients.Methods A stratified multistage cluster sampling method was used to investigate 720 patients less than 75 years of age.Results Overall, 717 completed responses were received. The awareness rates of influenza and pneumonia diseases were 59.83% and 59.55%, respectively. However, the awareness rates of influenza and pneumonia vaccine were 17.71% and 6.00%, respectively. The vaccination rate of influenza vaccine was 1.26% while no patients received pneumonia vaccination.Among those not vaccinated the most frequent reasons for not receiving the vaccine included "Believed oneself unlikely to be infected with influenza/pneumonia" and "No recommendation has been received for influenza/pneumonia vaccination". The influence on recommendations by doctors at vaccine clinic and by general practitioner had no significant statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusion The main reasons for such low awareness and willingness may be due to their poorly knowledge on the risk of influenza/pneumonia diseases, and related vaccines. Health education and intervention should be taken to heighten the vaccination rates of influenza/pneumonia vaccines.
