Case: Contact Immunization l l A 7 year old boy is 5 months post-heart transplant due to a presumed post-viral pericarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. He received thymoglobulin induction therapy and is maintained on tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and daily prednisolone immunosuppression. He has a 6 week old infant sister and a 4 year old brother who will be receiving their scheduled immunizations shortly. The heart transplant team scheduled an appointment with you (October 15 th) to provide immunization guidance and to review potential risks associated with the siblings’ immunization schedule. Next slide
Case: Big Picture Questions l l l What immunizations can/should the 6 week old sister receive? What immunizations can/should the 4 year old brother receive? What guidance should you provide to the family regarding infection risk and exposure to the transplant recipient in light of his siblings’ immunizations? Next slide

5. A. 1. g; 9. H. 2. a; 5. B. 10. g General Recommendations: Immunization of Close Contacts in Transplantation (3 of 3) Infectious Diseases Society of America Recommendations for Contact Immunization ¾ “All members of the immunocompromised patient's household as well as all healthcare contacts should be vaccinated. ” ¾ Specific recommendations related to live-attenuated vaccines from this guideline are referenced later in this module. *In this recommendation, the use of LAIV is permitted in household contacts, with the exception of specific circumstances related to contacts of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. See later slides for details. Rubin LG et al. Clin Infect Dis 2014; 58: e 44 -100
5. A. 1. g; 9. H. 2. a Evidence of Benefit: Immunizations of Close Contacts in Transplantation (1 of 2) l l l Overall, the risk of infection with vaccine preventable diseases in transplant patients is reduced when vaccination of close contacts is ensured. No studies directly evaluate the benefit of contact immunization for transplant recipients. Evidence supporting contact immunization outside the context of transplantation is from studies of influenza vaccination (see next slide). Next slide
5. A. 1. g; 5. B. 10. g; 9. H. 2. a Evidence of Benefit: Immunizations of Close Contacts in Transplantation (2 of 2) l Inactivated Influenza Immunization ¾ Two studies were performed which randomized the offering (versus not offering) of influenza vaccine to staff at long-term elderly-care hospitals. ¾ Increased influenza vaccine uptake among healthcare workers was associated with significantly decreased overall mortality among patients in both studies. Potter J et al. J Infect Dis 1997; 175: 1 -6 Carman WF et al. Lancet 2000; 355: 93 -7
5. A. 1. g; 9. H. 2. a; 5. B. 10. g; 5. A. 1. i Potential Risk: Immunization of Close Contacts of Transplant Recipients l l l Immunization of close contacts of transplant recipients with live -attenuated immunizations poses theoretical risk for acquisition by the transplant recipient from the contact. This risk is felt to be minimal in most circumstances (apart from oral polio vaccine which is no longer used in the US). The following is an evidence summary for each currently licensed, live-attenuated vaccine. ¾ Each slide references evidence related to shedding of the attenuated vaccine organism and evidence (or lack thereof) for transmission to contacts. ¾ For nearly all of these vaccines, there is no evidence of transmission to transplant recipients. ¾ Yellow Fever and oral Typhoid vaccines are referenced for completeness, though these are not routinely administered outside of specific travel-related circumstances.
LAIV* Question: l The 4 year old brother in the case vignette above attends a preschool at which LAIV is administered to all appropriate children (in seasons in which LAIV is efficacious). The patient’s parents ask you whether this is a concern for his 7 year old brother with a heart transplant. ¾ They ask for specific risk numbers and how long the 7 year old would be at risk following the 4 year olds vaccination (if one exists). ¾ Which is the correct combination of mean duration of nasopharyngeal viral shedding post-LAIV and the day of peak shedding? A. Mean duration: ~8 days; Peak: day 2 B. Mean duration: ~15 days; Peak: day 6 C. Mean duration: ~3 days; Peak: day 1 Answer & discussion D. Mean duration: ~21 days; Peak: day 10 in next slides * LAIV is not recommended in children for the 2016 -2017 or 2017 -18 influenza seasons

Live-attenuated influenza vaccine can be given to household contacts of transplant recipients (Strong recommendation, low quality) ¾ Three exceptions based on expert opinion (Weak recommendation, very low quality for each): Ø No LAIV for household contacts of a HSCT recipient within 2 months post-transplant Ø No LAIV for household contacts of a HSCT recipient with GVHD Ø No LAIV for household contact of a patient with SCID Ø If LAIV administered in one of the three above settings, contact between patient and vaccine recipient should be avoided for 7 days ¾ ¾ Rubin LG et al.

VVZ-MMR Vaccine Question (Answer): l After you finish discussing LAIV, the parents ask whether their 7 year old could get measles or chickenpox from his 4 year old brother. ¾ Are there any reported cases of vaccine-strain measles transmission from a immunization recipient to a close contact? No vaccine-strain measles transmission to close contacts of vaccinerecipients is reported. Due to the significantly immunocompromised status of HSCT recipients, experts recommend that MMR recipients with post-vaccination fever or rash avoid close contact with HSCT recipients. ¾ In what setting has vaccine-strain Rubella been transmitted? Only in the setting of an immunized mother to breastfeeding neonates. No symptoms or disease were noted in the neonates (Losonsky et al. ) ¾ In what setting does potential for vaccine-strain Varicella transmission to a close contact exist? Transmission can occur following contact with a VZV vaccine recipient with postimmunization VZV-related rash. Losonsky et al.

Case 5. A. 1. g Case: Conclusion (Slide 1 of 4) l l l You emphasize the importance of all scheduled immunizations for both the 6 week old and the 4 year old siblings of the heart transplant patient. You strongly recommend administration of influenza vaccine (IIV) to the healthy 4 year old currently (as it is now influenza season). You strongly recommend administration of inactivated influenza vaccine to the 6 week old sister when she reaches 6 months of age. Next slide
Case: Conclusion (Slide 2 of 4) l l The patient’s 6 week old sister receives her age appropriate immunizations ¾ Hepatitis B, PCV 13, DTa. P, Hib, IPV, Rotavirus The patient’s 4 year old brother receives his age appropriate immunizations ¾ DTa. P, IPV, MMR, Varicella, Influenza Next slide
Case: Conclusion (Slide 3 of 4) l You advise the patient’s family to ensure that the patient does not handle the 6 week old sister’s diapers for 4 weeks following her receipt of rotavirus vaccination. ¾ All handlers of diapers should wash hands. ¾ Diapers should be disposed of in containers that will not allow contamination. ¾ Surfaces where diapers were changed should be cleaned. Next slide
Case 5. A. 1. g Case: Conclusion (Slide 4 of 4) l l You provide the following advice to the family regarding the 4 year old brother’s receipt of varicella and MMR vaccine. If a rash develops in the 4 year old following immunization, ¾ rash that results post-vaccine should be covered ¾ the heart transplant recipient should limit contact with the vaccinated sibling including avoiding contact with lesions, secretions, and other potentially contaminated surfaces ¾ heart transplant recipient should be seen by a physician as soon after the exposure is recognized, to evaluate the degree of exposure to potential vaccine-related skin lesions, to determine the need for prophylaxis or treatment (when pertinent), and to provide anticipatory guidance regarding signs and symptoms that would require further care
