    PurposeTo evaluate the rate of seasonal influenza vaccination coverage (IVC) in incident giant cell arteritis (GCA) patients compared with controls.MethodsThe vaccination rate was estimated from vaccine dispensation. IVC was compared between GCA and their controls using longitudinal multivariate Poisson regression.ResultsDuring the influenza campaigns from 2005-2006 to 2010-2011, the IVC rates in the GCA group and the control group ranged from 60.8 to 74.7% vs. 56.6 to 70.4%, respectively. Incident GCA influenza vaccination rate was 20% higher than controls (RR=1.20 ; IC 1.09 to 1.32, P<0.001).ConclusionAlthough suboptimal, IVC in incident GCA was statistically better than controls.Copyright © 2019 Société Nationale Française de Médecine Interne (SNFMI).
