Popis: Vaccination in patients with special medical situations remains a major challenge for health professionals. In recent years, vaccination of these groups has gained special importance because of the conceptual expansion of vaccines associated with early stages of life and the availability of specific vaccines for these patients (adjuvanted or high-burden). On the other hand, new scientific evidence on the definition of new immunopreventable risks is improving the indications and uses of vaccines. In addition, the use of new technologies, as well as indirect information sources for the identification of these patients, contribute significantly to the increase in vaccination coverage.
