To those who requested this information, and anyone else who is
interested in the results of my query about vaccinations of preterm
infants, they are as follows.
1) A (traditional) review article from an Australian Journal entitled: '
Communicable Diseases Intelligence' addressing immunisation of preterm
infants. This is from the current issue, and is available online at:
www.health.gov.au/pubhlth/cdi/cdihtml.htm
Click on the current issue link and from the tables of contents you can
view the fulltext article in either HTML or PDF.
2) A good place to start would be the 1997 Red Book Report of the
Committee on Infectious Diseases, published by the American Academy of
Pediatrics. There is a sction on immunizations for premature infants.
Also a medline search for (premature and vaccination or immunization)
provides plenty of information.
Thanks again to those who provided this information.
Derek
