Popis: Background Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) are at higher risk for infectious diseases. Despite this increased risk and the available guidelines1, we reported a sub-optimal vaccination rate of 27.4% of IMID patients in 2018. In the meantime, a vaccination module was introduced in the electronic patient health record of our hospital to accurately document and monitor vaccination status of patients. The impact of this new module on vaccination coverage was re-evaluated in the same IMID patients in 2021. Methods Between Aug and Oct 2021, the vaccination status of 1448 (out of the original 1488) IMID patients (44.8% male, median age 53.6 years) was collected (798 patients with IBD, 612 with rheumatological, and 38 with dermatological inflammatory conditions) and compared to that of 2018. The vaccination status was obtained mainly through the patients’ electronic medical records. Missing data were added after contacting patients or their general practitioner. Results From 2018 to 2021, the overall vaccination coverage of all IMID patients significantly increased from 27.4% to 51.9% (p The vaccination coverage in IBD patients increased significantly from 75.9% to 86.3% for influenza (p Similarly, the vaccination coverage significantly increased for rheumatology patients, namely from 69.3% to 78.3% for influenza (p For patients with dermatological inflammatory conditions, vaccination coverage significantly increased from 60.5% to 81.6% for pneumococci (p=0.031) and from 47.1% to 55.3% for hepatitis B (p=0.002) (Table 1). Conclusion The suboptimal vaccination rate measured in 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic stressed the importance of vaccination recommendations to patients and healthcare professionals. We here show that the implementation of a vaccination tool integrated in the electronic medical record of patients is correlated with a significant increase in specific vaccination rates and also in the total amount of IMID patients that were fully vaccinated according to guidelines.
