| Popis: | Debate regarding vaccinating high-risk infants with penta- and hexavalent vaccines persists, despite their good immunogenicity and acceptable safety profile in healthy full-term infants. We report the findings of a systematic literature search that aimed to present data on the immunogenicity, efficacy, effectiveness, safety, impact, compliance and completion of penta- and hexavalent vaccination in high-risk infants, including premature newborns. Data from the 14 studies included in the review showed that the immunogenicity and the safety profile of penta- and hexavalent vaccines in preterm infants was generally similar to those seen in full-term infants, with the exception of an increase in cardiorespiratory adverse events such as apnea, bradycardia and desaturation following vaccination in preterm infants. Despite recommendations of vaccinating preterm infants according to their actual age, and the relatively high completion rate of the primary immunization schedule, vaccination was often delayed, increasing the vulnerability of this high-risk population to vaccine-preventable diseases. |
