OBJECTIVES: Whereas compliance rates for the full course of a multi-dose vaccine schedule in infants are generally very high, the situation in an elderly population is much less clear and there is a paucity of literature to back up the outcomes. The aim of this study was to understand the challenges of completing a multi-dose schedule in an elderly population in the UK. METHODS: A literature review on compliance rates with multi-dose vaccination programmes in an elderly population was carried out, but revealed a scarcity of relevant studies. Hence a series of telephone interviews was conducted with 49 UK health care professionals (HCP) involved in vaccination programmes to understand the potential impact of multi-dose vaccines, when compared with single dose products.
