Résumé

Immunocompromised patients are at high-risk for severe influenza and invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD). Despite the French Public Health Council (FPHC) and the 7th European Conference on Infections in Leukaemia (ECIL7) recommendations, vaccination coverage remains insufficient. This study aimed to estimate the coverage and determinants of influenza, pneumococcal and diphtheria-tetanus-poliomyelitis (dTP) vaccinations in hematological patients underlying chemotherapy.
