Abstract

Influenza is the most common infectious disease preventable by vaccination in developed countries; it can affect people of all ages and cause epidemics. Although the symptoms are usually mild, complications may arise that require a hospital admission and might cause the patient's death in some cases. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza, and the World Health Organization recommends reaching immunization coverages against influenza of at least 75% in people over 65 years of age and in the high-risk population, as well as among healthcare professionals. This document summarizes the key points of a recent document containing information updates and considerations regarding influenza vaccination in Spain and the present recommendations. The document was issued by the Influenza Study Group and the signing scientific societies and professional organizations.

Resumen

La gripe es la enfermedad infecciosa, prevenible mediante vacunación, más frecuente en los países desarrollados, y puede afectar a personas de todas las edades y dar lugar a epidemias. Aunque la sintomatología habitualmente es leve, pueden aparecer complicaciones que requieran ingreso hospitalario y causar en algunos casos la muerte del paciente. La vacunación es la forma más efectiva de prevenirla y la Organización Mundial de la Salud recomienda alcanzar una cobertura vacunal frente a la gripe de al menos el 75% en personas mayores de 65 años y en la población de alto riesgo, así como en los profesionales sanitarios. Este documento resume los puntos fundamentales de un trabajo de actualización y reflexión sobre la vacunación antigripal en España y las recomendaciones al respecto, que realizaron el Grupo de Estudio de la Gripe y las sociedades científicas y organizaciones profesionales firmantes.
