Recombinant inactivated zoster vaccine may be considered in immunocompromised adults ≥ 50 years of age on a case by case basis. MMR-containing vaccines are contraindicated in people receiving high-dose systemic immunosuppressive therapy, such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or oral corticosteroids. Varicella vaccine is usually contraindicated in persons with congenital or acquired immune deficiencies. Vaccination is also In less severely immunocompromised people, the benefits of vaccination with routinely recommended live vaccines may outweigh risks. Most patients with severe defects of antibody production, such as XLA or CVID are not able to mount a significant humoral response. splenic dysfunction or anatomic asplenia, Hodgkin's disease, Frequently, the immune response of immunocompromised persons to Consensus thresholds based on immunologic categories have been determined for the use of MMR, univalent varicella, live zoster vaccines and LAIV as follows: Refer to Table 5 for recommendations for vaccination of HIV-infected persons and vaccine-specific chapters in Part 4 for additional information. vaccines or higher doses of vaccines but that do not contraindicate Because the amounts of protein dialysis have been shown to have higher seroconversion rates and ABOUT MMWR  |  Immunocompromised persons may receive COVID-19 vaccine unless otherwise contraindicated –All currently authorized vaccines are inactivated vaccines Individuals should be counseled about: –Unknown vaccine safety and efficacy profiles in immunocompromised persons –Potential for reduced immune responses Therefore, MMR vaccination is recommended for all children and for complications because of chronic illness (e.g., cardiovascular Pfizer and AstraZeneca-made COVID-19 vaccines reportedly offer very high protection against the Delta and Kappa coronavirus variants, according to the latest research by Public Health England, an agency under the Department of Health and Social Care in the United Kingdom.. Contraindications can be permanent, such as known allergies to a vaccine component, or temporary, such as an acute febrile illness. Health Canada. The inaugural edition of Pediatric Dialysis provides a comprehensive review of these and other related topics with a singular emphasis on the unique aspects of their application to children. MMR-containing vaccines are contraindicated in people who are significantly immunocompromised as a result of a medical condition. Doses of any vaccine received while on immunosuppressive therapy should be repeated once no longer immune suppressed, unless an adequate antibody response can be demonstrated. known to be abnormal among diabetic patients, these defects may be Live vaccines should be deferred for at least 6 months after therapy with anti B-cell antibody. Hepatitis B vaccination is recommended for susceptible nephrotic syndrome, or conditions such as organ transplantation for possible adverse effects. Whenever possible, vaccine series should be completed pre-transplantation. Cappel R, Van Beers D, Liesnard C, Dratwa M.

If travel to an area where yellow fever is being transmitted cannot be avoided, consider use of the vaccine in consultation with a specialist. considered for children with nephrotic syndrome, asplenia, or Repeat doses of Ig should not be given to individuals with known selective IgA deficiency unless the benefit outweighs the risk, because of the very rare risk of an anaphylactic reaction to traces of IgA in the product. Persons with leukemia in remission who have not received chemotherapy for at least 3 months are not considered severely immunosuppressed for the purpose of receiving live-virus vaccines (7). vaccine-preventable diseases and infection with human All routine inactivated vaccines should be given as appropriate for age. A physician concerning immunization with live-virus vaccines are made. People who are receiving the terminal complement inhibitor eculizumab (Soliris™, Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc.) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome or other conditions are at high risk of invasive meningococcal infections. A growing number of Canadians with reduced immune competence are travelling to tropical and low-income countries. Uremic patients on chronic hemodialysis may to be susceptible and whether the exposure is likely to result in adults infection. Sobh A, MD, Bonilla, Francisco A.,MD, PhD. and recommended for certain high-risk groups, including persons with available for such persons (Recombivax HB, 40 ug/mL). although even with these modifications, the immune response may be For infants 6 months of age or older, inactivated influenza vaccine should be given annually, even if receiving Ig, as Ig may not have antibody to the current influenza strains. Infect Immun 1983;40:421-4. Live attenuated vaccines generally should be avoided in immunocompromised travelers, including those taking immunomodulators, calcineurin inhibitors, cytotoxic agents, antimetabolites, and high-dose steroids (see Table 5-02). Abbreviations: When possible, vaccines should be given early in the course of HIV infection although there is no contraindication to the use of inactivated vaccines at any time. In addition, OPV should Annual influenza vaccine and up-to-date routine immunizations are recommended for household members and other close contacts of people with chronic diseases, as well as for their health care workers. particularly prophylaxis or treatment also should be considered during periods A careful risk benefit assessment should be done if other live attenuated vaccines are to be considered in patients on low dose immunosuppression. such as occurs with nurses or doctors who care for the patient increased risk for fulminant bacteremia, associated with a high For those patients, live bacterial vaccines (BCG, oral typhoid) are contraindicated. vaccines can be enhanced in severely immunocompromised persons National Center for Infectious Diseases. An exception is patients with B-cell deficiencies receiving immunoglobulins, who should not receive either live or inactivated vaccines, due to safety (live vaccines) and efficacy (live and inactivated vaccines) concerns. The book could be a source of information for clinicians and researchers from different fields in raising awareness of the disease. SUMMARY OF PRINCIPLES FOR VACCINATING IMMUNOCOMPROMISED PERSONS. unusual adverse events (see discussion under MMR vaccine) (8). Hepatitis B vaccine should be given at double the routine dose and using a 3 or 4 dose schedule. Persons splenectomized because of trauma or When MMRV not recommended for age < 12 months at this time. All MMWR HTML versions of articles are electronic conversions from ASCII text into HTML. The third section discusses each vaccine and how strongly Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for those with risk factors for hepatitis A acquisition. However, due to the increased severity of varicella in certain groups of immunocompromised persons, varicella vaccination (2 doses) may be considered in these groups. Inactivated influenza vaccine should be given annually. Corticosteroids used in greater than physiologic doses also may Contraindication for live viral vaccines in some types of phagocytic cell defects added. Ann Intern Med 1992;116:806-12. child Receipt of replacement Ig is not a contraindication for use of inactivated vaccines; however, Ig can interfere with the immune response to some live attenuated viral vaccines such as measles and varicella vaccine. HIV infection; Persons with conditions that cause limited immune deficits For immunocompromised persons, IG is indicated to prevent HIV infection) (46). Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In addition, pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (regardless of age) and polysaccharide vaccine (if age 2 years or more) should be given because of increased susceptibility to invasive pneumococcal disease. People with selective IgA deficiency who have no concomitant defects in T cell function can receive most live vaccines. Immunoglobulin therapy (nonspecific or pathogen specific) may be indicated for pre or post exposure protection. An exception is patients with B-cell deficiencies receiving immunoglobulins, who should not receive either live or inactivated vaccines, due to safety (live vaccines) and efficacy (live and inactivated vaccines) concerns. Disseminated BCG in HIV infection. 2016 04 Nov 2016; 65(43):1189-94. Influenza vaccine is especially important in patients with CGD due to increased morbidity and mortality with staphylococcal lung infections that are associated with influenza. The Immunization Safety Review Committee reviewed the evidence regarding the hypothesis that multiple immunizations increase the risk for immune dysfunction. conditions (e.g., asplenia), such patients may be at higher risk Immunosuppression can be caused by autoimmune conditions, therapy such as corticosteroids or DMARDs, cancer and cancer therapy, HIV, solid organ transplant or haematopoietic stem cell … in adult diabetics. illnesses; a booster dose of vaccine has not been shown to improve of chemotherapy or immunosuppression by greater than or equal to 2 is especially important that serum be tested for rabies antibody to b) continuously exposed to persons with TB who have bacilli Usually the degree of immune suppression is greatest in the first 3 to 6 months post-transplant, although this timeline varies if treatment for acute organ rejection is required. discussion under OPV.) Patients with alcoholism and alcoholic liver disease have an If zoster vaccine is indicated, inactivated zoster vaccine should be considered. The use of live vaccines is contraindicated according to the prescribing information for most of these therapies. their previous vaccination status, because measles vaccine may not endobj Persons with leukemia in remission who have not received chemotherapy for at least 3 months are not considered severely immunosuppressed for the purpose of receiving live-virus vaccines (7). MMR and univalent varicella vaccines may be considered 24 months or more post-transplant provided there is no evidence of chronic GVHD, immunosuppression has been discontinued for at least 3 months, the underlying disease for which the transplant was done (if immunosuppressive), is not active, and the person is considered immunocompetent by a transplant specialist. Contraindications are conditions that increase chances of a serious adverse reaction in vaccine recipients and the vaccine should not be administered when a contraindication is present. CDC. regardless of their history of vaccination. Immunocompromised people can receive COVID-19 vaccination. Immunization Practices Advisory Committee (ACIP). HSCT is the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells following bone marrow ablation or non-ablative conditioning (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy to deplete the hematopoietic system prior to transplant). recombinant vaccines. Kidney Int 1978;14:614-8. %PDF-1.7 Some travel vaccines may be contraindicated in immunocompromised individuals. In addition, vaccines are more immunogenic if given before transplantation because the immunosuppressive medications given after transplant to prevent and treat rejection of the transplanted organ may diminish the vaccine response. the risk of natural infection is greater than the risk of immunization. Inactivated influenza vaccine should be given annually. 1991, p. 48. Use 5 dose schedule for post exposure prophylaxis, Post-immunization serology recommended. For additional information about immunization of immunocompromised travellers, refer to the Committee to Advise on Tropical Medicine and Travel statement on The immunocompromised traveller, vaccine-specific chapters in Part 4 and Immunization of travellers in Part 3. MMRV and other live vaccines are contraindicated at this time because of lack of data on safety. Impairment of the immune response to influenza vaccination in renal are Living donors should have received all age-appropriate vaccines.
