The immunization status of Internationally Adopted Children (IAC) newly arrived in the adoptive country require a timely assessment and completion of necessary vaccinations. In fact, due to their frequent suboptimal immunization status, IAC are at high risk for vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). Comparative analysis of immunization protocols adopted in European countries, United States, and Canada disclosed different approaches to the immunization of these children. In order to guarantee the continuity of paediatric immunization schedules that may have been interrupted in countries of origin, a homogeneous and internationally shared standard of immunization in the management of IAC should be provided.
刚抵达收养国的国际收养儿童（IAC）的免疫状况需要及时评估并完成必要的疫苗接种。事实上，由于他们的免疫状况常常欠佳，国际收养儿童面临疫苗可预防疾病（VPDs）的高风险。对欧洲国家、美国和加拿大所采用的免疫方案进行比较分析后发现，这些国家对这些儿童的免疫接种采取了不同的方法。为了确保在原籍国可能已中断的儿童免疫接种计划的连续性，应提供一个统一的、国际共享的国际收养儿童管理免疫标准。
