Descrição: In three large managed-care plans, about 58 percent of the members who were at least 65 years old received the influenza vaccine. During both the 1998–1999 and 1999–2000 influenza seasons, those who were vaccinated had a significantly lower risk of hospitalization for cardiac disease, cerebrovascular disease, and influenza and pneumonia than unvaccinated subjects. Vaccination was also associated with a lower risk of death from any cause. Serious complications of influenza among the elderly include pneumonia and exacerbations of coexisting conditions that can result in hospitalization or death. 1 Vaccination against influenza has consistently been associated with reductions in hospitalizations for pneumonia and death from all causes in the elderly. 2 , 3 During influenza epidemics, hospitalizations for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular causes increase, 4 – 8 and acute infections, including upper respiratory tract infections, may increase the risk of acute cardiovascular 9 – 11 and cerebrovascular 12 – 17 events. Several small observational studies have suggested that influenza vaccination may be associated with a reduction in the risk of cardiac arrest, 18 myocardial infarction, 19 and acute cerebrovascular . . .
