title: Update on immunizations commonly used in the NICU.
abstract: With few exceptions, it is currently recommended that all premature infants should receive routine childhood vaccines at the same chronologic age as term infants. Thus, neonatal nurses need to stay current on the recommendations for immunizations commonly used in the NICU setting. It is important for nurses to provide information that is reliable and verifiable with scientific evidence to the parents.
