Item Vaccines: Considerations for pediatric dermatology patients on immunosuppressive agents(Wiley, 2021) Munshi, Mumtaz A.; Noe, Megan H.; Chiu, Yvonne E.; Streicher, Jenna L.; Dermatology, School of MedicinePediatric dermatologists should be aware of immunization schedules and special recommendations for patients on immunosuppressive agents due to the increased risk of vaccine-preventable infections.

Live vaccines are typically contraindicated while on immunosuppressive therapy, while inactivated vaccines are generally safe to administer.
