Children's Diseases and Immunizations 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

In the last few years, vaccinations have re-emerged as one of the most important determinants of neonatal, infant, and child health and, as a consequence, that of other age groups. The prevention of old and new infections needs to be continuously encouraged with appropriate campaigns to properly inform caregivers and health professionals.

A number of vaccines have been recently proposed, and the development of new vaccines currently constitutes a major area of research. New data on fragile populations, preterm newborns, and children with chronic diseases, immune deficiencies, and allergies, and those on immunosuppressive treatment demonstrate the need for a global and personalized approach to vaccination. The importance of starting immunization in pregnant women has also been demonstrated, and new approaches have been proposed. This Special Issue aims to provide a critical update on vaccination programs in all pediatric ages and to help clinicians improve the care of all pediatric populations.
