Key Words Chronic kidney disease; Hemodialysis; Adult vaccination; Preventive nephrology
Core Tip This study highlights critical gaps in adult immunization among patients with chronic kidney disease initiating hemodialysis, with suboptimal coverage for hepatitis B virus, pneumococcal, and influenza vaccines. Notably, a high prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) (16.7%) was observed, underscoring the dual infectious burden in this population. Prior nephrology consultation and pre-transplant evaluation were strongly associated with higher vaccine uptake. Integrating structured vaccination and TB screening into pre-dialysis care pathways offers a unique opportunity for preventive nephrology in resource-limited settings.
