    Abstract:
    The objective of this observational study was to estimate influenza vaccination coverage for the 2005/2006 season in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients consulting at or hospitalized in 12 CF care centers. Data from 518 CF patients >6 months of age (children: 64.9%) were analyzed: 79.9% were vaccinated. The vaccination coverage was 85.6% in children, 69.4% in adults and 44.4% in transplanted patients. General practitioners vaccinated 67.9% of the patients. "Lack of time" reason was reported by 24.7% non-vaccinated patients. In France, influenza vaccination coverage in CF patients meets the National Health objective (> or =75% by 2008), but could be improved in adults and transplanted patients.
