[Vaccinations and solid-organ transplantation: review and recommendations].
Pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients are at high risk for various infectious diseases. Many children are not fully vaccinated before transplantation. To reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable disease, physicians treating pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients should monitor the immunization status of these patients. Consensus on the most appropriate immunization schedule for solid-organ transplant recipients is lacking. Therefore, we provide a review of the currently available data on immunization safety and efficacy and describe strategies to avoid vaccine-preventable diseases in pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients.
