Abstract

The following clinical question is posed: is pneumococcal vaccination effective for prevention of pneumonia and invasive pneumococcal disease in immunosuppressed patients or with immunosuppressive, immunomodulatory or biological drugs?

In spite of the current recommendations to administer the pneumococcal vaccine to adults with immunosuppression, the data to support this approach in this population group are scarce.

The evidence indicates that current vaccination in patients older than 65years is more effective in the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease than preventing the development of pneumococcal pneumonia and pneumonia from all causes.

In the absence of further evidence, the health teams, follow the recommendations given by the scientific societies and by the Spanish Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare on pneumococcal vaccination to patients with immunosuppression who advise sequential vaccination of patients with immunosuppression with VNC13+VNP23, with 8weeks of difference and revaccination at 5years.

Resumen

Se plantea la siguiente pregunta clínica: ¿es eficaz la vacunación antineumocócica en la prevención de la neumonía y de la enfermedad neumocócica invasiva en pacientes inmunodeprimidos o con fármacos inmunodepresores, inmunomoduladores o biológicos?

A pesar de las recomendaciones actuales de administrar vacuna antineumocócica a adultos con inmunodepresión, los datos que respaldan este enfoque en este grupo poblacional son escasos.

Las pruebas nos indican que la vacunación actual en pacientes mayores de 65años es más efectiva en la prevención de la enfermedad neumocócica invasiva que en prevenir el desarrollo de la neumonía neumocócica y de la neumonía por todas las causas.

A falta de más evidencia, los equipos sanitarios seguimos las recomendaciones dadas por las sociedades científicas y por el Ministerio de Sanidad, Consumo y Bienestar Social sobre la vacunación antineumocócica a pacientes con inmunodepresión que aconsejan la vacunación secuencial a pacientes con inmunodepresión con VNC13+VNP23, con 8semanas de diferencia y revacunación a los 5años.
