Influenza is an acute viral respiratory illness that continues to cause significant morbidity and mortality in Ireland. Despite well-established national and international guidelines1 and increased public awareness campaigns, vaccine uptake rates are well below target worldwide2. We performed an audit of influenza vaccine uptake at a Respiratory outpatient clinic in a tertiary referral centre. 54% (n=41) of patients received the annual vaccine, well below the target of 75% set by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
流感是一种急性病毒性呼吸道疾病,在爱尔兰持续导致大量发病和死亡。尽管有完善的国家和国际指南1以及公众意识宣传活动的增加,但全球疫苗接种率远低于目标2。我们在一家三级转诊中心的呼吸门诊对流感疫苗接种情况进行了审核。54%(n = 41)的患者接种了年度疫苗,远低于欧洲疾病预防控制中心(ECDC)设定的75%的目标。
