Abstract:
Vaccinations are an important part of primary care for people with HIV (PWH). They protect against some sexually transmitted infections, and respiratory bacterial and viral infections. PWH are recommended to obtain influenza, COVID-19, herpes zoster (shingles), hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, mpox, and human papillomavirus vaccinations. Additionally, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has released recommendations incorporating the newer formulations of pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines and respiratory syncytial virus vaccines. Considerations for the timing of vaccinations are described, including whether to delay vaccination until improvement of the immune status. Live vaccines (other than nonreplicating vaccines) are contraindicated for PWH with a CD4+ count below 200 cells/μL or uncontrolled HIV.
