Delayed Start of Diphtheria, Tetanus, Acellular Pertussis and Inactivated Polio Vaccination in Preterm and Low Birth Weight Infants in the Netherlands

Abstract

In the Netherlands, PT and low birth weight infants were less often timely vaccinated than FT infants and were, therefore, at increased risk of vaccine-preventable infections. In FT infants, the timeliness of vaccination is better but could also be optimized.
