Hello everyone,
I am a third-year medical student from Brazil and we recently discussed an insightful retrospective study published in the Journal of Perinatology titled Don't Wait, Vaccinate. It compared the incidence of cardiorespiratory events in preterm infants receiving all routine 2-month vaccines on a single day versus on multiple days.
The study found no significant difference in events like prolonged apnea or bradycardia between the groups. Single-day administration, however, reduced schedule interruptions, improving adherence to vaccination timelines.
I'd like to hear your thoughts:
Have you observed differences in outcomes with single-day vs. multi-day vaccination schedules?
What factors should guide this decision in the NICU?
Looking forward to your insights!
