Abstract
Background
Routine pneumococcal vaccination of adults in Russia is recommended in immunization schedule for recruits, adults 60 years and older, with chronic lung disease. We conducted all-national study on the coverage of adult pneumococcal vaccination for the period 2014-2018.
Methods

Results
In four years, 1.9 million of adults have been vaccinated against pneumococcus. The highest coverage was achieved among recruits - 92.5%. The coverage of patients with chronic lung diseases, including COPD was 15.1%. In addition, pneumococcal vaccination was carried out among other groups of immunocompetent adults with chronic diseases. However, the absolute number of vaccinated was not large. Coverage rate was 3.8% among patients with chronic heart disease, 2.8% in patients with diabetes mellitus and lower in other groups. In some regions of Russia pneumococcal vaccination of adults with immunocompromising сonditions and people with occupational risk factors was carried out.
