Abstract:
This review gives recommendations to respiratory physicians regarding vaccination of adults. It is based on the most recent recommendations of the STIKO and includes vaccination against pneumococci, influenzavirus, RSV, and SARS-CoV2, as also Herpes Zoster and pertussis. A graph provides support for decision making by visually summarizing these recommendations, facilitating the assessment of possible coadministrations, and supporting the rapid, evidence-based implementation in clinical practice.
