Article Synopsis
  • The study examined seasonal anti-influenza vaccination rates among chronically ill children (6 months to 14 years) and adults (15-59 years) using electronic clinical records in Madrid, Spain, which included over 5 million residents.
  • Of those aged 6 months to 59 years with medical cards, 10.3% had a chronic condition; vaccination coverage was 27.1% for children, particularly high among diabetics, and 22.1% for adults, notably higher in those with heart failure.
  • Factors influencing vaccination rates included prior vaccination history, national origin (lower for immigrants), and the presence of multiple chronic conditions, indicating overall coverage was below acceptable levels for 2009.
