Preterm infants often receive immunizations late or in reduced dosage. The purpose of this study was to describe the knowledge of parents of preterm infants about immunizations. We sent a questionnaire to the parents of preterm infants who attended our Neonatal Follow-up Clinic. Of the 112 families who returned the survey, only 45% correctly answered that preterm infants should be immunized at the same age as full-term infants. Nearly 40% of parents stated that "how premature the baby was" influenced time of immunization. Over 25% reported that the infant had to reach a minimum weight to be immunized. Parents who received information from neonatal intensive care or Neonatal Follow-up Clinic staff or a public health nurse were not more correctly informed about immunizations. Parents of prematures often are not correctly informed about immunizations. Information about immunizations for preterm infants should be incorporated into NICU discharge planning.
早产儿通常较晚接种疫苗或接种剂量减少。本研究的目的是描述早产儿父母对疫苗接种的了解情况。我们向在我们新生儿随访诊所就诊的早产儿父母发放了一份问卷。在112个回复调查的家庭中，只有45%的人正确回答早产儿应与足月儿在相同年龄接种疫苗。近40%的父母表示“婴儿早产的程度”会影响接种时间。超过25%的人报告说婴儿必须达到最低体重才能接种疫苗。从新生儿重症监护室或新生儿随访诊所工作人员或公共卫生护士那里获得信息的父母，对接种疫苗的了解并不更准确。早产儿的父母通常对接种疫苗的信息了解不正确。关于早产儿疫苗接种的信息应纳入新生儿重症监护病房出院计划。
