Obesity and the receipt of influenza and pneumococcal vaccination: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions
Combined findings from the current literature suggest that adults with obesity are more likely than non-obese peers to receive vaccination for influenza and pneumococcus. However, suboptimal vaccination coverage was observed across all body sizes, so future interventions should focus on improving vaccination rates for all adults.
