- Abstract
The article offers guidelines for hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) centers regarding the vaccination of HCT recipients. It says that vaccine-preventable diseases such as pneumococcal infection, measles and influenza can pose risks for HCT recipients, and therefore, these patients should be routinely revaccinated. It talks about vaccinations recommended for autologous and allogeneic HCT recipients, as well as the need to test immunity to some infections before or after the vaccination.
