Guide to contraindications to vaccination (2018 update).
Edited by Giovanni Gallo, Rosanna Mel, Elisa Ros and Antonietta Filia
2019, viii, 233 p. (in Italian)

Healthcare personnel should check for the presence of contraindications and/or precautions before administering a vaccine. They must also be aware of false contraindications to vaccination. In fact, certain symptoms or conditions are erroneously considered to be true contraindications when they do not actually preclude vaccination; these errors result in missed opportunities for vaccination. The Guide to contraindications to vaccination, now in its fifth edition, is a reference tool for healthcare workers and provides evidence-based technical support for correctly assessing contraindications and precautions to vaccinations. The guide has been completely updated with respect to the previous edition of 2009, with the contribution of numerous vaccine experts from the main Italian health institutions, and with the support of various scientific societies.
Key words: Vaccine; Contraindications; False contraindications; Precautions
