A quality improvement intervention failed to significantly increase pneumococcal and influenza vaccination rates in immunosuppressed inflammatory arthritis patients.

PPSV23 and influenza vaccination rates were suboptimal. The intervention did not cause a statistically significant change in vaccination rates. Point-of-care vaccination may be more effective.Key Points• Low vaccination rates amongst immunosuppressed inflammatory arthritis outpatients• Less than 5% of vaccinations occurred in hospital• There was no statistically significant difference in the rates of adequate PPSV23 (41.0 to 47.2%) or influenza (61.8 to 62.1%) vaccination following our intervention.
