Study Summary

A prospective, randomized open-label clinical trial will be conducted from July 2018 to October 2020. Approximately 300 preterm infants will be enrolled across three sites: Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Eligible infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 2-month US licensed childhood vaccines (PCV13, DTaP, HBV, IPV an Hib) or no vaccines. After their participation in the study, healthcare providers of the infants in the unvaccinated group will make decision abut receipt of their 2-month childhood vaccines. The study will collect data from the continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors from randomization to 48 hours after randomization for infants in the unvaccinated group, and from randomization to 48 hours after vaccination for infants in the vaccinated group. Infants in both groups will be monitored for up to 60 hours for the occurrence of apnea, bradycardia, and oxygen desaturation. For infants in the "vaccinated" group, the study will also collect adverse events of clinical interest and serious adverse events occurring between the end of the 48-hour monitoring period and 14 days after vaccination. This information will be collected through parental report and review of medical records.

Primary Outcome

Number of infants with ≥ 1 apneic event in a 48-hour monitoring period after vaccination in the "vaccinated" group and a 48-hour monitoring period after randomization in the "unvaccinated" group, mITT Population Apnea was defined as a pause in respirations of \>20 seconds, or a pause in respirations of \>15 seconds with associated bradycardia (heart rate \<80 beats per minute for any duration occurring within 1 minute of the apnea event). Potential apnea events triggered by the cardiorespirator
