Researchers from Australia determined that pediatric liver transplant patients who received a single-dose of the H1N1 vaccine were not adequately protected against the virus compared to healthy children. This study found that a second vaccination was needed to elicit an effective immune response in children 10 and older who had recently received a liver transplant.
