The results of the PneuVUEh survey on communication between primary care physicians and specialists on the topic of vaccination confirm that almost all primary care physicians exchange information about the therapy of their immunocompromised patients (…)

Influenza vaccination 2018/19 – more luck than this year?
More than 330,000 influenza cases and 1,627 direct deaths were accounted for by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in April for the 2018 influenza season in Germany. There were 138 flu outbreaks in hospitals alone, 122 in kindergartens, 58 in schools, 49 in nursing homes and homes for the elderly, and 35 in rehabilitation facilities. The numbers are not exact because not everyone who gets sick goes to the doctor and many deaths are related to other pre-existing conditions. (…)
