Warnings & precautions in children

When administering to very preterm infants (born ≤ week 28 of gestation) consider respiratory monitoring for 48-72 hours because of the potential risk of apnea, especially in children with a history of inadequate lung maturation; since the benefit of vaccination is high in this group of children, do not withhold or delay vaccination.
