Sponsor's own description

The National Vaccination Program, updated by the Ministry of Health in 2021, provides a new vaccination opportunity for frail patients against Herpes zoster virus (HZ). The new treatment option, on the other hand, is designed by combining VZV-specific antigen (gE) with an adjuvant system (AS01B) to induce antigen-specific cellular and humoral immune responses in individuals with preexisting immunity to VZV. Efficacy, assessed in people given two doses 2 months apart, is around 97% in those aged 50 years and 91% in those over 70 years. In the studies conducted, HZ-related hospitalizations were significantly reduced. The vaccine schedule calls for the administration of two doses 2 months apart. The current HZ Vaccination Program implemented at the regional level recommends its active and free offer in people from 18 years of age with congenital and/or acquired immunodepression, through a collaborative relationship involving, on the one hand, multispecialist and multiprofessional medical staff and, on the other hand, citizens called to play a role that is no longer passive but the subject of empowerment by consciously making their own health choices. The collaboration with ASL Roma1, in this sense, acquires value as guarantor of the supply of the adjuvanted recombinant anti-HZ vaccine and of the appropriate reporting of vaccination coverage, which to date is still far from the targets set by the PNPV'17-'19 in adults at risk for disease. The purpose of this study Single-center prospective longitudinal observational cohort study is to verify patients' compliance with the proposed vaccination, the effectiveness of counseling carried out by a multidisciplinary team in the hospital setting.
