ABSTRACT
Pediatric dermatologists should be aware of immunization schedules and special recommendations for patients on immunosuppressive agents due to the increased risk of vaccine-preventable infections. Prior to initiating immunosuppressive therapy, pediatric dermatologists should review a vaccine history and administer any necessary age-appropriate or catch-up vaccines. Live vaccines are typically contraindicated while on immunosuppressive therapy, while inactivated vaccines are generally safe to administer.
