[Studies on Factors Influencing Influenza Vaccination Rates in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease].

CONCLUSION : Measures should particularly target COPD patients under 60 years of age with a negative vaccination history and sensitize them as risk patients. Widespread uncertainties about the severity of influenza and vaccination protection should be addressed. It should be communicated that influenza vaccination does not lead to exacerbation. The vaccination recommendation should increasingly be made by pulmonologists. PMID: 32927490 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
