与美国出生的儿童相比，国际收养的儿童缺乏一些常规儿童免疫接种和患有某些传染病的风险更高。美国移民法要求国际收养的儿童在抵达美国后 30 天内开始接种疫苗，美国儿科学会 (AAP) 建议在抵达后的前 2 周内进行全面的健康评估。几个专门照顾国际收养儿童的中心已经收集了数据，可用于向卫生保健专业人员提供有关对这些儿童进行传染病免疫和筛查的信息。本文讨论了提供免疫接种和评估国际收养儿童是否有症状和无症状传染病的方法。
Internationally adopted children are at increased risk of lacking some routine childhood immunizations and having certain infectious diseases compared with American-born children. US immigration law requires that internationally adopted children begin immunizations within 30 days of arrival in the United States, and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends a comprehensive health assessment within the first 2 weeks of arrival. Several centers specializing in the care of internationally adopted children have gathered data that can be used to inform health care professionals about immunizing and screening such children for infectious diseases. This article discusses approaches to providing immunizations and evaluating internationally adopted children for symptomatic and asymptomatic infectious diseases.
