Vacunación en el niño con cardiopatías congénitas

El paciente pediátrico con cardiopatía debe ser vacunado como el resto de niños, modificándose el calendario en caso de tener una enfermedad aguda intercurrente.

En los niños con cardiopatía que no ha sido tratada correctamente y presentan enfermedad residual crónica, parece recomendado la administración de una vacuna antigripal todos los años.

Las recomendaciones actuales son: para los niños mayores de 8 años, 1 dosis intramuscular de 0,5 ml repitiéndose todos los años. En los niños de menos de 36 meses se debe administrar 1 dosis de 0,25 ml. En los niños entre 36 meses y 8 años, se administra 1 dosis de 0,5 ml, repitiéndose la misma dosis a las 4 semanas, en el caso de que sea la primera vez que se vacuna el paciente, posteriormente se administrara una dosis anual.
