Influencing Adult Pneumonia Vaccination Policy
Across nearly two decades, deaths from pneumonia among adults more than 70 years of age increased by 60 %.1 Pneumococcal pneumonia is vaccine preventable and recommended for older adults in many countries, yet vaccination uptake remains suboptimal in this group.
“Influencing adult pneumonia vaccination policy” assessed pneumonia vaccination policy, public health messages and campaigns for at-risk adult groups and older people across nine European countries with the ultimate goal of improving uptake rates of pneumonia vaccination and decreasing the burden of pneumonia among high-risk adults.
