Pneumococcal Vaccination
- Question
- Is it reasonable to refresh a pneumococcal vaccination with CF patients regularly – and if so, how often?
(MHH Hannover, CF Clinic) - Answer
- Hello,
according to the current STIKO (German Standing Vaccination Committee) recommendation, children and adults with special risk (e.g. CF) should receive a pneumococcal vaccination. Booster shots are recommended every 5 years.
