Jose F Camargo et al. Blood Adv. 2020.
Abstract
- Shingrix is poorly immunogenic following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation independent of age, CD4, and B-cell recovery.
- In hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients with antibody response to the vaccine, varicella zoster virus reactivation risk is not null.
