Abstract

The present study evaluated the real-world effectiveness of influenza and pneumococcal dual-vaccination among Chinese elderly, the evidence on which was absent. Outpatient and inpatient claims databases from Jan 1, 2015 to Apr 1, 2017 of persons at least 60 years old in Shenzhen, China were merged with electronic records of influenza vaccines and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines (PPSV23) from Oct 1, 2016 - May 31, 2017. Individuals who were vaccinated with influenza between Nov 1 and Dec 31, 2016 and received PPSV23 30 days within the date of influenza vaccination were defined as the vaccinated group. A control group consisted of individuals that received neither of the vaccines was constructed by matching on year of birth, sex, and district. The two outcomes were all-cause and acute respiratory hospitalizations. Difference-in-difference (DiD) logistic regressions that were proceeded with an entropy balancing (EB) process were used to analyse the effectiveness of dual-vaccination. A total of 48,116 eligible individuals were identified in the vaccinated group, which were matched by 93,692 individuals in the control group. The EB-DiD analyses estimated that dual-vaccination was associated with lower short-term risks...Continue Reading
