Pneumococcal Vaccination Rates and Associated Meningitis Events in Patients With Acute Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak

Infectious and clinical outcomes reflected comparable to previous reported literature. Further evaluation into the risk-benefit relationship of vaccination omission is warranted in this patient population.
