“…() did not find an association between delays in vaccination and level of parental income, but this finding is refuted by a later study where it was reported that VLBW infants of mothers who had completed high school were significantly more up to date than infants of mothers who did not (Langkamp et al., ). Two population‐based studies reported that a lower socio‐economic status was associated with lower vaccination rates (Langkamp et al., ; Tozzi et al., ) although this finding is at odds with the observation that a lower family income was associated with greater up‐to‐date vaccination levels (Denizot et al., ). In spite of this latter finding, the strength of the two large population‐based studies by Langkamp et al.…”

“…1 However, the immunization of extremely low birth weight (ELBW; <1000 g birth weight) infants has been associated with adverse events including fever and adverse cardiorespiratory events such as apnea and bradycardia in the immediate post-immunization period. 2–4 These adverse events can mimic serious diseases in ELBW infants, including true sepsis, presenting a diagnostic dilemma for clinicians.…”

Importance Immunization of extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is associated with adverse events, including fever and apnea or bradycardia, in the immediate postimmunization period. These adverse events present a diagnostic dilemma for physicians, leading to the potential for immunization delay and sepsis evaluations.Objective To compare the incidence of sepsis evaluations, need for increased respiratory support, intubation, seizures, and death among immunized ELBW infants in the 3 days before and after immunization.

Objective There is little information about vaccine schedule compliance in very-low-birth-weight infants in developing countries. The aim of the study was to describe the compliance with the vaccine schedule among this population in Lima, Peru. Patients and Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study in four hospitals in Lima in infants with a birth-weight of less than 1500g, followed from birth up to 12 months of age every 2 weeks. The date and age at administration of each vacccine was recorded. Results 222 infants were enrolled. The median birth-weight was 1,250g (range 550-1,499g) and the median gestational age was 30.0 weeks (range 23-37 weeks). The mean age for the first pentavalent (DPT, Hib, HepB) and oral polio vaccine administration was 4.3 ± 1.4 months in infants with a birth-weight of <1000g vs. 3.1 ± 1.0 in infants with a birth-weight 1000- 1500g (p<0.001); 4.1 ± 0.9 vs. 3.3 ± 1.1 for rotavirus (p<0.05); and 5.1 ± 2.1 vs. 4.3 ± 1.8 for the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine. Only 35% had received the three doses of oral polio and pentavalent vaccine by seven months, although by nine months 81% had received these vaccines. Conclusions Vaccination of very-low-birth-weight infants in Peru is significantly delayed, especially in infants with a birth-weight of <1000g. Urgent educational interventions targeting physicians and nurses should be implemented in order to improve vaccination rates and timing in these high risk populations.
