However, the associated procedures often require lifelong treatment to suppress the immune system, in order to prevent rejection of the transplant. This leaves children who have had a transplant vulnerable to infections. Unfortunately, the multiple hospital visits can also disrupt their vaccination schedules, further increasing the risk of infection in these children who need vaccines more than anyone else. British Columbia Children&#8217;s Hospital provides care for all children in BC who have had a transplant, providing a unique opportunity for us to improve immunization rates among transplant recipients.<\/p>\n<p>This project&#8217;s primary goal is to assess adherence to immunization guidelines among approximately 150 solid organ transplant recipients in BC, including kidney, liver, and heart transplant recipients. We will specifically look at whether these children are receiving vaccines as recommended, identify factors that are more common in those who have not received all the recommended vaccines, and also identify whether or not children are having blood tests to check if they have responded to their vaccines, and how doctors and nurses are using this information to decide which vaccines to give.<\/p>\n<p>By pinpointing factors associated with lower vaccine uptake, the project aims to inform the adaptation of vaccination programs, develop educational materials for families, and enhance vaccine counseling in transplant clinics. Ultimately, these efforts seek to improve adherence to immunization recommendations among pediatric transplant recipients, safeguarding their health against preventable diseases.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/announcing-the-results-of-the-2025-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition-11-new-projects-funded\/\"><strong>View the results of the 2025 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants recipients here.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":32973,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32966","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32966"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32966"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32966\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32975,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32966\/revisions\/32975"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32973"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32966"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32966"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32966"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
