We observed lower seropositivity rates for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella in pediatric kidney transplant patients versus healthy children and other previous studies. It is essential to address these suboptimal rates to protect the health of these vulnerable patients. Future research should focus on targeted interventions to improve vaccination rates and outcomes in this population.
