Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Vaccines are crucial for protecting both children and adults from a wide range of diseases. Vaccinations have significantly reduced the mortality rates for preventable diseases, such as polio, pertussis, measles, and several others, especially among infants and young children. Vaccinating pregnant women to induce passive immunity in newborn children and the immunization of close contacts are additional approaches to protect infants and other vulnerable populations.
Many vaccinations are even more important for patients affected with immune-mediated conditions and, in general, chronic diseases. While some vaccines are generally recommended for all individuals, others may require special consideration or adjustments for those patients with immune-mediated disorders, in terms of timing, dosage, type of vaccine, and other aspects.
This Special Issue aims to share advances in the practice of vaccinating children and adolescents. Additional interest will be paid to articles describing and/or discussing the immunization approaches in patients with immune-mediated and, in general, chronic diseases.
Original manuscripts, review manuscripts, and case reports are welcome for submission.
