The authors present a review article on current information in the specialized literature on immunocompetence of premature infants

and possible adverse effects of vaccination in the group of premature infants. They recommend a differentiated approach to initiation

of vaccination in premature infants according to the degree of prematurity and current bodily condition. Added as a supplement to the

article is an opinion of the Czech Neonatology Society and the Czech Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology on regular vaccination

in premature infants. Based on the data gathered and clinical experience, the authors have found no reason to change, in the Czech

Republic, the functioning, effective system of regular vaccination in very and extremely premature infants in the first two years of life.

Keywords: premature infants, immunocompetence, vaccination risks, opinion
