Objective: To assess pneumococcal and influenza vaccination coverage among HIV-infected adolescents and adults receiving medical care in the United States. Design: Periodic medical record reviews. Setting: More than 90 clinics, hospitals, and private medical practices in nine cities. Patients: HIV-infected individuals aged ≥13 years were included in the analyses of pneumococcal (n=9737) and influenza (n=6161) vaccination coverage. Main outcome measures: Documentation of receipt of pneumococcal and influenza vaccines in medical records during 6-18-month and 12-month periods, respectively. Results: Overall, 37 and 33% of individuals received pneumococcal and influenza vaccines, respectively. In general, vaccination levels varied little by age group, race/ethnicity, or mode of HIV exposure
