Immunization of elderly people with polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine.

D Fedson¹, J Henrichsen, P H Mäkelä, R Austrian.

Abstract

On March 28-30, 1988 the World Health Organization held a "Consultation on Immunization of Elderly People with Polyvalent Pneumococcal Vaccine". The meeting was held in Copenhagen and was sponsored by the WHO Regional Office for Europe and its Health of the Elderly programme. The meeting was attended by 18 temporary advisors and three observers. One of the main conclusions of the meeting was that pneumococcal vaccination should be recommended for all elderly persons and for all persons at high risk of acquiring pneumococcal infection, regardless of age.
