Vaccines can induce immunity through stimulation of antibody formation or stimulation of cellular immunity, or both. A combination vaccination is one which has multiple vaccines in a single injection. Currently, various combination vaccines are available. They help in reducing overall number of injection and visits to a pediatrician. This leads to better compliance as parents accept them well and they also reduce the chance of missed vaccination.
Influenza vaccine is recommended in children with chronic pulmonary disease, hemodynamically significant heart disease, immune compromised state, sickle cell disease, and other hemoglobinopathies, chronic rental dysfunction, chronic metabolic disease, including diabetes mellitus.
