[Simultaneous vaccination against influenza and invasive pneumococcal disease in chronic dialysis patients].
To evaluate the antibody response to simultaneous vaccination against influeza and pneumococcal disease in chronic dialysis patients. ⋯ The antibody response to influenza vaccine was negatively influenced by immunodeficiency due to underlying diseases in dialysis patients. Although poorer results were achieved in patients vaccinated with influenza vaccine alone compared to those vaccinated with the two vaccines, the difference was not significant. An adjuvant influenza vaccine is expected to be more promising.
