Vaccine preventable infections are a serious complication following pediatric solid organ transplant. Immunizations are a minimally invasive and cost-effective was to reduce these infections. Despite the importance of pre-transplant vaccination, the majority of pediatric solid organ transplant recipients are not up-to-date on age-appropriate immunizations at the time of transplant. The goal of this study is to pilot a novel health information technology immunization tool to improve immunization rates in pediatric solid organ transplant candidates.
Triads of parents, primary care physicians, and transplant sub-specialists will be enrolled to use a pre-transplant immunization tool while their child awaits transplant. The tool will provide information about vaccines, information about vaccine-preventable infections in the transplant population, a central easily accessible vaccine record, and a communication portal. The tool will also send vaccine reminders when vaccinations are due. The investigators will assess 1) the effectiveness of the tool in improving pre-transplant immunization rates, 2) the acceptability of the tool to users and 3) the feasibility of the tool.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness of Transplant Immunization Tool, as measured by number of patients with up-to-date vaccinations | We will assess whether the novel immunization tool improves pre-transplant vaccination rates. The number of participants who are up to date with vaccinations will be reported. | Date of transplantation (up to 3 years post-enrollment) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acceptability and Feasibility of the Transplant Immunization Tool, as assessed by a questionnaire | We will assess whether the novel immunization tool is feasible and acceptable to users using a Likert scale with possible scores of 1-5, with 1 being least feasible/acceptable to the participant and 5 being the most feasible/acceptable. | Date of transplantation (up to 3 years post-enrollment) |
