Information

Recommendations for vaccination of cancer pts receiving chemotherapy, pts with Hodgkin's disease, and hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients are listed in Table 82-3 Vaccination of Cancer and Transplant Pts Receiving Chemotherapya . In solid organ transplant recipients, the usual vaccines and boosters should be given before immunosuppression. Pts with continued immunosuppression should have pneumococcal vaccination repeated every 5 years and should generally not receive live vaccines.
