Influenza vaccination: do the aged reap the benefit?

R Morgan1, D King, C J Turnbull.   

Abstract

An audit of 100 elderly in-patients with appropriate medical conditions revealed that 63% had not been vaccinated this winter. 74% would have accepted vaccination if offered. A general practitioner questionnaire found that 42% relied on elderly patients coming forward and requesting vaccination. Unfortunately, many elderly patients are still missing out on influenza vaccination.
