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.
