Abstract
Premature infants are often immunized at a chronological age comparable to term infants, without correction for gestational age, as part of national infant immunization programs. The fundamental reason for this suggestion is because preterm and low birth weight infants are more susceptible to infections in general and have a higher frequency and severity of vaccine-preventable diseases. As a result, early vaccination of preterm infants is imperative. Vaccination, on the other hand, is more likely to be delayed in preterm infants than in term infants.
