Article Synopsis
- Hemoglobinopathies like sickle cell disease and thalassemia lead to health complications, increasing infection risks, making vaccinations essential for patient care and quality of life.
- A nationwide survey in Greece assessed vaccination coverage and attitudes toward vaccination among patients with hemoglobinopathies using a 37-item anonymous questionnaire.
- Results showed that while childhood vaccination rates were generally in line with national standards, adult vaccination coverage was low for several key vaccines, particularly among individuals over 50 years, who also had more misconceptions about vaccinations.
