2010, VaccineCitation Excerpt :In addition to the uncertainty of interpreting the validity of the immunization records, it is unclear whether other factors such as birth country, gender, age, history of institutionalization, nutritional status, or a history of disease play a role in determining whether a child has adequate immunity against a given vaccine preventable disease. While several studies have examined whether internationally adopted children have documentation of immunizations [5–8] and protective antibody levels to vaccine preventable diseases [9–19], only two studies have comprehensively examined factors associated with protection through multivariable analyses [15,16]. The results of these studies varied and the reasons for these differences are not entirely clear.
