Immunogenicity, Safety and Efficacy of Influenza Vaccine in HIV Infected Children
Influenza associated pneumonia causes significant morbidity in young HIV-infected children. Although annual vaccination against influenza is recommended for HIV infected children, it has not been implemented as routine care, due to the lack of data on disease burden and vaccine efficacy. This study aims at determining the effectiveness of influenza vaccination in HIV infected children in South Africa.
