Infections significantly impact outcomes for solid organ and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children. Vaccine-preventable diseases contribute to morbidity and mortality in both early and late posttransplant time periods. Several infectious diseases and transplantation societies have published recommendations and guidelines that address immunization in adult and pediatric transplant recipients. In many cases, pediatric-specific studies are limited in size or quality, leading to recommendations being based on adult data or mixed adult-pediatric studies. We therefore review the current state of evidence for selected immunizations in pediatric transplant recipients and highlight areas for future investigation. Specific attention is given to studies that enrolled only children.
