Abstract
⺠In 2009, an H1N1 monovalent influenza vaccine was recommended in addition to the seasonal vaccine. ⺠We evaluated the immunogenicity and safety of H1N1 influenza vaccine in immunocompromised children. ⺠The H1N1 vaccine was safe and well tolerated in children with cancer, HIV, and sickle cell disease. ⺠The H1N1 vaccine resulted in an adequate immune response in children with sickle cell disease. ⺠The H1N1 vaccine was only modestly immunogenic in children with cancer or HIV infection.
