Vaccines for prophylaxis of viral infections in patients with hematological malignancies

Abstract: Inactivated VZV vaccine might reduce zoster severity in adult SCT recipients. Inactivated influenza vaccine might reduce respiratory infections and hospitalization in adults with multiple myeloma or children with leukemia or lymphoma. However, the quality of evidence is low. Local adverse effects occur frequently. Further high-quality RCTs are needed.

“…However, a recent meta-analysis described that the rates of lower respiratory disease, hospitalization, and mortality among cancer patients who received the influenza vaccine were significantly lower than those among cancer patients who did not. 30 Given this favorable risk-benefit profile, physicians should make every effort to further increase the rate of influenza vaccination.…”

“…The most common presentation is referred to as shingles, and other rare complications include meningoencephalitis, cerebellitis, herpes zoster ophthalmicus, and Ramsay Hunt syndrome. 30 Although the risk for varicella zoster due to vaccination is low, 61 varicella infection associated with the vaccine can occur in patients with cancer, and the infection ranges from mild to moderately severe. 62 To our knowledge, death has been reported in 2 different instances, one of a child who received the vaccine while undergoing consolidation chemotherapy, 63 and a recent report by Bhalla et al of disseminated, fatal infection in an adult 4 years after transplantation and who had been diagnosed with a new low-grade lymphoma.…”
