Résumé |
Influenza causes significant morbidity and mortality among adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In nationally representative surveys of 101,210 individuals with CVD conducted in 2018 and 2019, the self-reported rate of vaccination was only 50%, with significant disparities by race and education. We advocate that cardiologists not only routinely emphasize vaccination but capitalize on the opportunity to vaccinate patients at office visits to improve overall rates of vaccination and their associated racial disparities.
