Abstract

This article reviews the relevant studies on the efficacy and safety of influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccination among tumor patients worldwide in recent years. By combing and analyzing the retrieved literature, the results show that influenza and pneumococcal vaccination can significantly reduce the morbidity and hospitalization rate of infectious diseases in tumor patients, reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and death, and significantly improve survival prognosis. COVID-19 vaccination can also protect tumor patients, especially those who have completed full dose vaccination. Authoritative guidelines and consensuses worldwide all recommend that tumor patients receive influenza, pneumococcal and COVID-19 vaccines. We should carry out relevant researches, as well as take effective measures to strengthen patient education, so that tumor patients can fully experience the health protection brought by the vaccine to this specific group.

对近年来国内外肿瘤患者接种流感疫苗、肺炎球菌疫苗和新型冠状病毒疫苗的免疫原性、安全性和有效性等相关研究进行分析。通过对检索文献进行梳理和分析,结果显示,接种流感疫苗和肺炎球菌疫苗可显著降低肿瘤患者的感染性疾病的发病率、住院率,还可降低其心血管事件风险和死亡风险,显著改善生存预后。接种新型冠状病毒疫苗亦可对肿瘤患者起到保护作用,尤其是完成全程疫苗接种的患者。国内外权威学会指南、共识均建议肿瘤患者接种流感疫苗、肺炎球菌疫苗和新型冠状病毒疫苗。建议积极开展相关研究,并采取有效措施加强患者教育,让肿瘤患者充分获得疫苗给这个特殊群体带来的健康保护。.
