Comparative Effectiveness of Different Influenza Vaccine Formulations among Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis
Key Points
The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of different influenza vaccine formulations in older adults undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.
Comparison of high-dose, cell culture-based, and standard-dose vaccines.
Focus on older adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis.
High-dose and cell culture-based vaccines provide modestly increased protection compared to standard-dose vaccines.
Findings indicate that vaccine formulation may influence immunity in this population.
Abstract
Among older adults undergoing dialysis, high-dose vaccine and cell culture-based vaccine may provide modestly increased protection versus standard-dose vaccine.
