Question

The nurse is reviewing the electronic health record of a 70 year old client. Which vaccinations should be current for this client?

Answer 1

Influenza and Pneumococcal

The CDC advises vaccination against influenza once a year and pneumococcal disease every five years for people over 65 in order to help avoid these infections.

By providing protection against the most common strains of the influenza virus and against 23 different serotypes of S, the seasonal influenza and pneumococcal polysaccharide immunization ES aims to protect those who are most at risk of serious illness or death should they develop influenza or pneumococcal disease.

In conclusion, combining the influenza and pneumococcal vaccinations had a positive impact on the number of hospital admissions for pneumonia and influenza.
