Participants\u2019 vaccination statuses for influenza, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccines during the pandemic were assessed, along with their vaccine hesitancy levels using a vaccine hesitancy scale. Data were collected between 01.03.2024 and 27.11.2024.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study included 500 patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders. Only 3.6% of the participants had received the influenza vaccine in the previous year, 3.0% reported regular influenza vaccinations, and 76.2% had received the COVID-19 vaccine during the pandemic. Among the participants at risk for pneumococcal infection (14%), the vaccination rate was only 2%. Patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (45.0%) and anxiety disorder (17.2%) had the highest rates of regular influenza vaccination, while those with psychosis (13.6%) and depression (14.6%) had the lowest (p=0.010). COVID-19 vaccination rates during the pandemic were highest in ADHD (90.0%), bipolar disorder (81.1%), and depression (80.8%), and lowest in psychosis (54.5%) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (64.3%)(p=0.002). Women (p=0.001), participants with below university education levels (p=0.009), and patients with psychosis showed greater vaccine hesitancy. Patients with ADHD and bipolar disorder had the most positive attitudes toward vaccination (p=0.021). Positive attitudes were also linked to recent or regular influenza vaccinations and COVID-19 or pneumococcal vaccinations (p&amp;lt;0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Low vaccination rates and high vaccine hesitancy in psychiatric patients, particularly those with psychosis, necessitate targeted strategies to improve immunization coverage in this population.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2025.1566348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]],"date-time":"2025-04-22T04:10:56Z","timestamp":1745295056000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Influenza, pneumococcal, and COVID-19 vaccination coverage and hesitancy in adults with psychiatric disorders"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Vasfiye","family":"Demir Pervane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bet\u00fcl","family":"Uyar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Pakize Gamze","family":"Erten Bucaktepe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ije\/dyu038","article-title":"The global prevalence of common mental disorders: a systematic review and meta-analysis 1980\u20132013","volume":"43","author":"Steel","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int J Epidemiol"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/thoraxjnl-2012-202480","article-title":"Risk of pneumonia and pneumococcal disease in people with severe mental illness: English record linkage studies","volume":"68","author":"Seminog","year":"2013","journal-title":"Thorax"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10194411","article-title":"Increased risks of death and hospitalization in influenza\/pneumonia and sepsis for individuals affected by psychotic disorders, bipolar disorders, and single manic episodes: A retrospective cross-sectional study","volume":"10","author":"Nilsson","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Clin Med"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamanetworkopen.2021.34969","article-title":"Analysis of COVID-19 infection and mortality among patients with psychiatric disorders, 2020","volume":"4","author":"Teixeira","year":"2021","journal-title":"JAMA Netw Open"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"283","DOI":"10.1038\/s41398-019-0622-3","article-title":"A large-scale genomic investigation of susceptibility to infection and its association with mental disorders in the Danish population","volume":"9","author":"Nudel","year":"2019","journal-title":"Transl Psychiatry"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapsychiatry.2014.2502","article-title":"Mortality in mental disorders and global disease burden implications: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"72","author":"Walker","year":"2015","journal-title":"JAMA Psychiatry"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.1002\/j.2051-5545.2011.tb00014.x","article-title":"Physical illness in patients with severe mental disorders.
