Influenza Vaccination in Patients Living With HIV in the Northern Region

Anyone living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has an indication for annual influenza vaccination. (Vaccination schedule and vaccination recommendations 2019). Influenza is a viral infection that has a significant impact on the health care system. However, vaccination coverage in France is still insufficient with regard to the objectives set at 75% by the WHO and the European Commission. For the 2019-2020 seasonal influenza vaccination campaign, flu vaccination by volunteer pharmacists has become possible throughout the country. Studies that have estimated vaccination coverage among HIV-positive populations are rare and show very low rates.
