Hospital‐Based Influenza and Pneumococcal Vaccination: Sutton’s Law Applied to Prevention
Formats Available in JSTOR: PDF
Abstract(back to top)
Pneumonia and influenza continue to be two of the major causes of hospitalization and death throughout the world. It is fitting that this issue of the Journal is devoted to addressing these important topics. Many of these cases are caused by influenza virus and Streptococcus pneumoniae and could be prevented if the delivery of influenza and pneumococcal vaccines were more effectively targeted to those individuals who are otherwise destined to be hospitalized or to die due to one of these diseases. That persons with vaccine‐preventable influenza and pneumococcal infections are still admitted to our hospitals is a sobering reminder that there still is important work to do.
