1-year Pneumococcus vaccination rate
Heart failure affects more than 1.5 million people in France, resulting in over 70,000 deaths
 and more than 165,000 hospitalizations each year. Viral and bacterial infections are
 frequently associated with episodes of acute heart failure in patients with chronic heart
 failure (CHF). Lower respiratory tract infections, such as influenza and pneumococcus, are
 common causes of hospitalization for decompensated heart failure, leading to increased
 morbidity and mortality. Studies have shown that pneumococcal vaccination can reduce the
 risks of heart attack or stroke in patients with heart failure. However, despite vaccination
 recommendations, coverage rates remain low, especially for pneumococcus. In this study, we
 will evaluate the impact of an incentive letter for pneumococcal vaccination on one-year
 hospitalization rate in patients with heart failure.
