Any social inequality in uptake will worsen any social inequalities that already exist.Aim To investigate the demographic characteristics of families attending for swine flu vaccination.Design and setting A prospective study in a semi-rural general practice in South Wales.Method Data were collected by questionnaire, and logistic regression models were used to test for associations between potential risk factors (including family demographic characteristics and the child's previous vaccination history) and swine flu vaccination uptake.Results No evidence was found of any significant associations between potential risk factors and the outcome.Conclusion This suggests that social inequality did not affect vaccination uptake in this sample.
