Post-Liver Transplant Vaccinations
Home / Service Detail
Post-liver transplant vaccinations are crucial for preventing infections in immunocompromised patients. Here’s an overview:
Recommended Vaccines
- Influenza Vaccine: Annual vaccination to protect against seasonal flu.
- Pneumococcal Vaccine: Protects against pneumonia and other infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
- Hepatitis A and B Vaccines: Essential for liver transplant recipients who are seronegative.
- Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis): Recommended if not previously vaccinated or if the last dose was over 10 years ago.
- COVID-19 Vaccine: Recommended to prevent severe illness.
Important Considerations
- Live Vaccines: Generally avoided post-transplant due to the risk of adverse effects in immunocompromised individuals.
- Timing: Vaccines are ideally administered before transplantation. Post-transplant, inactivated vaccines can be given once the patient is stable.
