SaccoUniversity Hospital, Milan, ItalyMeeting: 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual MeetingDate of  rst publication: September 18, 2017Keywords: Biologic drugs, infection and vaccinesSESSION INFORMATIONBackground/Purpose: immunosuppressive therapies and bDAMRDs expecially, increase the risk ofinfections. According to the EULAR guidelines, all patients a ected by autoimmune/in ammatorydiseases should receive vaccinations against in uenza and pneumococcus. The primary aim of thiswork is to evaluate the prevalence of  u and pneumococcal vaccinations in a cohort of patientsa ected by in ammatory arthritides and SLE treated with biological drugs. The secondary aim was toexplore the reason why patients do not receive vaccination.Methods: we administered a self-reporting questionnaire about both  u and pneumococcalvaccination, to 274 consecutive patients from February to April 2017 treated with bDMARDs.Results: the 65.3% of patients declared to have been informed from rheumatologist about thepossibility to received vaccinations during biological treatments but the 19.5% declared to have neverbeen informed about them. The 46% of patients vaccination for in uenza was performed afterrheumatology suggestion and the 21% after their general pratictioner suggestion, while the 30.1%has declared to have not performed it for several reasons: because concerned about adverse events(5.1%), beacause they don’t see it as useful (17.4%) or for other reasons. The injection has beenadministered for free in the majority of patients (GPs 36.8%, local healthcare 33.5%). The 60.9%would have undergone vaccination even for a fee. The anti pneumococcal vaccination wasadministered to the 25.3%, while to the 50.3% has never been suggested to do it. The 4.4% hasdeclared to have not performed it because concerned about adverse events and the 6.6% becausethey don’t see it as useful. The injection has been administered for free at local healthcare facilities inthe 84% of the patients. The 97.3% would have undergone vaccination even for a fee. At last thepatients have declared to have always been well informed about vaccinations (48,9%), to have beenwell informed only about certain vaccinations (9,5%) or to have been informed only after asking(9,1%); The 19.1% was unsatis ed.Conclusion: the acquired vaccine rate has been low for the in uenza vaccination (<60%) andextremely low for the pneumococcal vaccination (26%). Even if the reasons of this results are partiallyattributable to a low patients’ compliance (47.5% for the in uenza vaccination, 11% for the anti1 1 1 21 1 12PDFCROWD.COMpneumococcical vaccination), almost 20% has declared not to have ever been informed aboutvaccinations. So an additional e ort to improve these results is mandatory.Disclosure: M. C. Ditto, None; A. Batticciotto, None; M. C. Gerardi, None; F. Rigamonti, None; R.Talotta, None; P.
