Study Finds COVID-19 Vaccination Coverage High Among Patients With HIV, But Some Gaps Exist

Infectious Disease Advisor (7/8, Nye) reports a study found that “while COVID-19 vaccination coverage is high among patients with HIV overall, future outreach efforts should focus on those who have not completed a primary vaccine series, as well as those with uncontrolled viremia.” The research found that “among patients with HIV infection, the strongest predictors for completing the initial vaccine series” included “influenza vaccination within the past” two years, a “higher number of outpatient care visits in the past 6 months,” and “residence in counties with a higher proportion of fully vaccinated adults.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
