Stroke 10.1 Rationale
While there have been no randomised controlled trials (RCTs) looking at the
impact of flu vaccination specifically in people with a history of stroke or
TIA, there is evidence from observation studies that flu vaccination reduces
risk of stroke (Lavallee et al. Stroke 2002; 33: 513-518; Nichol et al. NEJM
2003; 348:1322-32). This is now included in JCVI recommendations.
Stroke 10.2 Reporting and verification
Practices should report the percentage of patients on the stroke/TIA register
who have had an influenza vaccination administered in the preceding 1 September
to 31 March.
