Safety and immunogenicity of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines in preterm infants.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:The introduction of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) in the routine immunization program has resulted in a significant decline in invasive pneumococcal diseases (IPD) around the world. Preterm infants are a special group at a high risk of invasive infection by encapsulated bacteria. However, their slow growth accrual and prolonged hospital stay frequently lead to delays in immunization, which contributes to their risk for severe infections. Areas covered: Authors reviewed the published immunogenicity and safety of the use of PCVs in preterm infants. Expert opinion: PCVs are safe and effective for use in low birth weight and in-hospital preterm infants. Local and systemic reactions are similar for both term and preterm populations. Reports were inconsistent on the risk of apnea, therefore hospitalized extremely premature infants should be kept under observation for at least 48 h after immunization.
