Influenza Immunization in Very-Low-Birth-Weight Infants: Epidemiology and Long-Term Outcomes by Marie-Theres Dammann, Hannah Kraft, Guido Stichtenoth, Kathrin Hanke, Michael Zemlin, Janina Soler Wenglein, Isabell Ricklefs, Alexander Herz, Alexander Humberg, Dorothee Viemann, Geraldine Engels, Matthias Volkmar Kopp, Folke Brinkmann, Carsten Fortmann-Grote, Wolfgang Göpel, Egbert Herting, Christoph Härtel, Ingmar Fortmann, on behalf of the German Neonatal Network

“…Conclusions: Influenza immunization was not associated with improved lung function (forced expiratory volume in one second and forced vital capacity) or a better neurocognitive outcome (intelligence quotient and strengths and difficulties questionnaire) at early school age. In Germany, only one quarter of 6-year-old VLBWIs were immunized against influenza, particularly those born <28 gestational weeks and/or BPD. …”
