Live attenuated MMR/V booster vaccines in children with rheumatic diseases on immunosuppressive therapy are safe: Multicenter, retrospective data collection.

CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective study, live-attenuated MMR/V booster vaccines were safe for children with rheumatic diseases, on immunosuppressive therapies. This strengthens the Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PReS) recommendation that vaccination with live attenuated vaccines in patients on immunosuppressive therapies can be considered individually, weighing the benefit of vaccination against the risk of inducing infection through vaccination. These data provide the basis for a prospective data collection study, planned by the PReS vaccination study group. PMID: 31987692 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
