A literature search: “vaccination of COPD patients” was performed using Medline, the Cochrane Library and other Non-Indexed Citations for this review. This article presents a brief overview of thedifferent studies found, on the new patents, and the future strategies on the field.Moreno...
Patients with COPD, HIV and SOT were more likely to be vaccinated against influenza (OR:2.8, p < .001, OR:1.8, p < .05; OR:2.0, p < .001, respectively) and pneumococcal disease (OR:2.9, p < .001, OR:25.0, p < .001; OR:2.6, p < .001, respectively) than patients with ...
Infections have important adverse consequences for older adults, particularly those who are frail. In this chapter, we review how age and frailty impact immune responses to infections and vaccines, including through immunosenescence and inflammaging. We

The highest case-fatality rates from invasive pneumococcal infection occur in elderly persons (30 to 43 %) and patients with co-morbid conditions (25 to 27 %). Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) Recommendations There are 2 types of pneumococcal vaccines available in the United ...

Four main processes determine pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) antibiotic-nonsusceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae (ANSP) carriage: reduction of PCV serotypes, increase of non-PCV serotypes, potential overall reduction in carriage, and within-serotype nonsusceptibility, resulting from continuous antibiotic...
