In medicine, pneumococcal vaccines are "vaccines or candidate vaccines used to prevent infections with streptococcus pneumoniae."[1]
Indications
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have created recommendations for the vaccine.[2][3]
Vaccination of hospitalized patients
Although vaccination is viewed as purview of primary care physicians, vaccinating inpatients during hospitalizations may improve vaccination rates[4]; however, inpatient vaccination may be difficult to implement[5]. Paradoxically, inpatient strategies may be less successful in hospitals that have a high volume of pneumonia cases.[6]
