Influenza vaccination is associated with a reduced risk of invasive aspergillosis in high-risk individuals in Taiwan: a population-based cohort study.

ABSTRACT: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) has become the emerging life-threatening disease in recent years. Influenza has been identified as an independent risk factor for IA. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent influenza, while whether it can reduce IA in high-risk population still uncertain. We aimed to investigate the association between influenza vaccination and the risk of IA in high-risk population. We performed a population-based cohort study of people who qualified for government-funded influenza vaccination and were at high risk for IA at the start of the influenza season each year between 2016 and 2019. We utilized Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database to identify the influenza vaccination status and IA diagnosis during the follow-up period. We compared the risk of
