Vaccine Cuts Pneumonia Risk in High-Risk PatientsArchives of Internal Medicine 1999;159:2437-2442Dr. Kristin Nichol, VAMC / Minneapolis
50% of elderly Americans / high-risk individuals have not received the pneumococcal vaccine.
VAMC study of 1,900 elderly patients with chronic lung disease; 2/3 vaccinated against pneumonia. Pneumococcal vaccination:
43% reduction in hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza
29% reduction in the risk of death.
Pneumonia and Influenza vaccination: 72% reduction in hospitalizations for these two diseases
82% reduction in deaths from all causes.
Pneumococcal vaccination saved an average of $294 per vaccine recipient over the 2-year period.
