Vaccine Responses in Adult Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Comprehensive Review.

ABSTRACT: Consensus on timing of post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) vaccination is currently lacking and is therefore assessed in this review. PubMed was searched systematically for articles concerning vaccination post-HSCT and included a basis in predefined criteria. To enable comparison, data were extracted and tables were constructed per vaccine, displaying vaccine response as either seroprotection or seroconversion for allogeneic HSCT (alloHSCT) and autologous HSCT (autoHSCT) separately. A total of 33 studies were included with 1914 patients in total: 1654 alloHSCT recipients and 260 autoHSCT recipients. In alloHSCT recipients, influenza vaccine at 7-48 months post-transplant resulted in responses of 10-97%. After 12 months post-transplant, responses were >45%. Pneumococcal vacc
