Description
Summary:Vaccinations are an important part of primary care for people with HIV (PWH) and can protect against viral hepatitis and some sexually transmitted infections, as well as respiratory bacterial and viral infections. Vaccinations for influenza, COVID-19, herpes zoster (shingles), hepatitis B, meningococcal disease, mpox, and human papillomavirus are recommended for PWH. Additionally, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices has released recommendations incorporating the newer formulations of the pneumococcal pneumonia and respiratory syncytial virus vaccines. Additional considerations for the timing of vaccinations are de-scribed, including whether to delay vaccination until improvement of the immune status. Live vaccines (other than nonreplicating) are contraindicated for PWH with CD4+ counts less than 200 cells/μL or uncontrolled HIV.
