ForwardThe Importance of Re-Vaccination After Cellular Therapy
Cellular therapies are associated with an increased infection risk, and vaccination in these survivors plays a critical role in lowering that risk. Clinicians need to be educated on the importance of vaccination in these survivors as well as the details of dosing and timing of vaccines to best protect this vulnerable population from vaccine-preventable diseases.
Target Audience
This educational program is designed to meet the educational needs of oncologists, hematologists, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, PAs, and other health care professionals who manage patients with hematologic malignancies.
Learning Objectives
Following this program, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the reasons for the increased infection risk in survivors who have received hematopoietic cell transplantation or CAR T-cell therapy.
- Describe the importance of vaccination in survivors with a history of cellular therapy.
- Explain which vaccines are recommended in this population.
