Abstrakt: A recent study from Johns Hopkins University discusses the impact of delayed vaccination schedules on the incidence rates of measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), and varicella due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The research highlights the importance of herd immunity and the risks it poses to both immunocompetent children and immunocompromised individuals in the community. The study also explores the safety and efficacy of live-attenuated vaccines (MMR and varicella) in pediatric patients before and after solid organ transplants. The findings aim to provide guidance on the use of these vaccines in the care of pediatric patients undergoing organ transplants. [Extracted from the article]
