Over the last decade, childhood immunization has substantially reduced morbidity and mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases. However, particular paediatric risk groups, such as those with comorbidities, may not be adequately vaccinated despite being more susceptible to complications and death from certain infectious diseases. This may be due to lack of immunization recommendations, lack of awareness, or incomplete adherence to existing guidelines. Furthermore, recommendations for immunization can be inconsistent across Europe. An expanded initiative from the Central European Vaccination Awareness Group aims to raise awareness of the different high-risk paediatric groups, differentiate them according to their specific risk, and formalise a guidance statement for the immunization of each population.
在过去的十年中，儿童免疫接种大大降低了可通过疫苗预防的疾病的发病率和死亡率。然而，一些特定的儿科高危人群，如患有合并症的人群，尽管更容易因某些传染病而发生并发症和死亡，但他们可能无法充分接种疫苗。这可能是由于缺乏免疫接种建议、缺乏认识，或未能完全遵守现有的指南。此外，欧洲各地的免疫接种建议可能不一致。中欧疫苗意识组织的一项扩大倡议旨在提高对不同高危儿科人群的认识，根据其特定风险对其进行区分，并为每一种人群的免疫接种制定一份指导声明。
