Immunosuppressed children are particularly at risk of vaccine-preventable diseases; however, vaccine coverage in this population remains too low. This is explained by a fear of possible adverse effects of vaccines under immunosuppression, but also lack of data and clear recommendations, in particular regarding vaccination with live vaccines in this population. In this book, the latest literature and various recommendations on vaccination in immunosuppressed children are discussed in detail, with the aim to give practical guidelines on vaccination to specialists caring for children who are immunosuppressed for various reasons. The authors would like to thank Mrs Rosemary Sudan for editorial assistance.
