title: [Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine coverage in a hospital center of the Metropolis of Lille in 2008].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the vaccine coverage of Prevenar(®), follow its evolution since its universal recommendation from 2006 and search the influence of certain socio-economic factors.
  
  
  METHODS
  A prospective descriptive study by a questionnaire enrolled the first 250 children born after 2001 and aged more than 2 months admitted at our hospital emergency room with their health record.
  
  
  RESULTS
  77.11% of children from any age merged received the first dose of Prevenar(®); 89.51% of those less than 24 months versus 60.38% of those more than 24 months, p<0.0001. The follow-up by a paediatrician and the high mother educational level influenced positively the vaccination by Prevenar(®).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Prevenar(®) vaccine coverage evolved well since its universal recommendation achieving a 89.51% rate for the first dose. The chase of a brought closer follow-up seems important to assess the impact of this new vaccine strategy.
