16.7 Recommendations
for Vaccination During Chemotherapy Five of the six cited guidelines on immunization practice come to similar conclusions in regard to immunization with inactivated or killed vaccines during chemotherapy Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 1993 ; Sung et al. 2001 ; Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health 2002 ; Allen 2007 ; Esposito et al. 2010a . All agree that it is reasonable to continue with the primary immu- nization series during the less intensive parts of therapy i.e., ALL maintenance in addition to pro- viding yearly inactivated infl uenza vaccination Table 16.1 . Among the group, only Esposito et al. 2010a give consideration to providing vari- cella vaccination in settings of high exposure risk and lack of universal vaccination. Here we review the evidence for each particular vaccination.16.7.1 Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Acellular Pertussis
Two studies were found in regard to response to diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis DTP during chemotherapy. Ercan et al. 2005 immunized 17 patients with ALL during maintenance chemo- therapy and found no statistical difference com- pared with 14 healthy controls for tetanus and diphtheria antibody response, although pertussis titers were signifi cantly lower. No adverse reac- tions were seen. Kung et al. 1984 administered DTP vaccination to 27 children during mainte- nance chemotherapy for various malignancies and found response to at least 1 of the 2 antigens in 26 of the children only tetanus and diphthe- ria were measured for response. Based on their fi ndings, they recommended continuing with the primary vaccination series for inactivated or killed vaccines during maintenance therapy.16.7.2 Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine
In areas without routine pneumococcal vaccina- tion, invasive pneumococcal disease remains a potential risk during and after chemotherapy Meisel et al. 2007 . Allen and Weiner 1981 reviewed 40 episodes of sepsis in 28 children with leukemia and lymphoma and found that 35 of these episodes were secondary to S. pneu- moniae , the most commonly isolated organism. Interestingly, S. pneumoniae was the only organ- ism that caused infection during remission ther- apy; fi ve of the 40 episodes 12.5 were during this time and due to S. pneumoniae . Lehrnbecher et al. 2009 studied 53 children treated for ALL and found persistent lack of protection to pneu- mococcal antigens which was signifi cantly lower than age-matched, unvaccinated, healthy controls up to 9 months after the completion of therapy the study period. Protection during chemotherapy from vaccine strains in those with previous immunization is unknown. Patel et al. 2012 studied 42 children with a history of leukemia ≥6 months off of che- motherapy to assess for serotype-specifi c antibod- ies to S. pneumoniae . None of the subjects were noted to have protective antibody concentrations to pneumococcal conjugate vaccine serotypes. Cheng et al. 2012 administered two doses of PCV7 to 44 pediatric oncology patients, including 20 ALL patients in maintenance. Eighty-six to 100 of patients obtained seropositivity depend- ing on the pneumococcal serotype. No subgroup analysis was reported to determine if differences in seropositivity occurred with different underly- ing malignancies or based on timing of vaccination. Beyond patients that have received splenectomy as part of their therapy, there is no indication for immunization with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.16.7.3 Hemophilus Infl uenzae Type b
In settings with routine vaccination to Hib, inva- sive disease has plummeted Bisgard et al. 1998 . Risk still remains though in areas without routine immunization Siber 1980 ; Feldman et al. 1990 . Multiple studies have described the effect of Hib conjugate immunization during chemotherapy Feldman et al. 1990 ; Kaplan et al. 1992 ; Shenep et al. 1994 ; Cheng et al. 2012 . Feldman et al. 1990 vaccinated 50 children with Hib; the over- all response rate was 50 . Shenep et al. 1994 studied 50 children with solid tumors who had not previously been vaccinated for Hib. Seroresponse was noted in 42 after fi rst vacci- nation and another 45 responded to a second dose. Kaplan et al. 1992 studied 18 children with malignancy and found a 50 seroresponse rate to Hib after 1 immunization. One-third of children responded to a second dose. Weisman et al. 1987 studied 27 children with malignancy, 6 of whom had completed therapy to measure response to Hib vaccination. Eighty-fi ve percent of patients had an appropriate response. Solid tumor patients had a 100 response; there was no difference in response for those off therapy. Of note, all of these studies were done at a time of signifi cantly decreased chemotherapeutic inten- sity making it unclear as to their generalizability with modern therapeutic protocols.16.7.4 Inactivated Poliovirus
The risk of polio is negligible due to the near worldwide eradication of the virus. Only one rel- evant study by Ogra et al. 1971 could be found, comparing antibody response in patients with leukemia, solid tumors and healthy controls. Response in healthy controls and solid tumor patients was similar while those with leukemia had a blunted response. Again, due to the age of this study, the generalizability to modern thera- peutic protocols is unknown. Of note, oral polio- virus OPV is contraindicated.16.7.5 Infl uenza
