Summary

Vaccination requires special considerations for immunosuppression, prematurity, pregnancy, and post-exposure to optimize protection and minimize risks. Tailored vaccine schedules and types are crucial for these special populations.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Vaccinology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Certain conditions like immunosuppression, prematurity, and pregnancy alter disease risk and vaccine response.
  • Post-exposure scenarios necessitate specific immunization strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review vaccination guidelines for special situations including immunosuppression, prematurity, pregnancy, and post-exposure.
  • To assess the efficacy and safety of vaccines in these contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of literature from MEDLINE, SciELO, and Lilacs databases.
  • Consultation of national immunization and STD/AIDS program guidelines.
  • Review of abstracts from infectious disease and pediatric congresses.

Main Results:

  • Special populations face increased risks of disease and adverse vaccine events.
  • Specific vaccines or schedules are recommended, with some live vaccines contraindicated in immunosuppressed individuals.
  • Vaccination of contacts is advised for immunosuppressed patients.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding specific vaccination schedules enhances protection and reduces adverse events.
  • Immunocompromised individuals without confirmed antibody titers should be treated as susceptible upon exposure.
  • Prophylactic measures are essential even with correct vaccination history for vulnerable groups.
