Abstract:
Immune dysregulation and immunosuppression regimens impact on the ability of transplant recipients to respond to immunizations. The distinct challenges of immunizations to benefit stem cell transplant recipients and solid organ transplant recipients are discussed separately. Recommended vaccines for stem cell transplant recipients and solid organ transplant candidates are suggested. New approaches to consider to enhance immune responses of transplant recipients are discussed.
