Current status of vaccination and vaccine recommendation in dialysis facilities

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Vaccination tracking and recommendation rates in dialysis facilities vary significantly by vaccine type, with high engagement for influenza and COVID-19 but low engagement for other vaccines like HBV, where high testing rates do not translate into vaccination recommendations. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

Key Points

The study aims to clarify the status of vaccination awareness and recommendations in dialysis facilities.
Survey conducted in September-October 2024 across 41 dialysis facilities in Shiga Prefecture and surrounding areas.
Collected data on vaccination awareness and recommendation rates for various vaccines.
Evaluated the implementation rates of HBV-related testing and vaccination recommendations.
Influenza vaccination awareness was 90.2%, with a recommendation rate of 87.8%.
COVID-19 showed awareness at 78.0%, with a recommendation of 63.4%.
HBV vaccination recommendation rate was low at 26.8%, indicating a disconnect between testing and actual vaccination intervention.

Implication

Survey reveals vaccination awareness and recommendation rates in dialysis facilities, highlighting gaps in HBV immunization.
