Abstract

Treatment with immune modifying biologicals has positively impacted disease control and quality of life in many patients with immune-mediated disorders. However, the higher susceptibility to common and opportunistic pathogens is of concern. Thus, immunization strategies to control vaccine preventable diseases represent a critical issue in this population. However, limited data exist on the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of available vaccines in patients on biologicals, particularly in children. Here, according to published literature and real life experience and practice, we report the interim indications of the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergology and Immunology (SIAIP) Vaccine Committee and of the Italian Primary Immunodeficiency Network (IPINET) Centers, on immunization of children and adolescents receiving biologicals. Our aim is to provide a practical guidance for the clinician to ensure optimal protection for patients and the community.
