Lung transplant recipients had lower influenza vaccine response rates than healthy individuals. Influenza vaccine antibody response is influenced by concomitant administration of mycophenolate mofetil or sirolimus. Future studies should measure protection from influenza infection conferred by immunization and alternative vaccination strategies.

The high-dose hepatitis B vaccine series produced a protective immune response in lung transplant recipients; however, the response was suboptimal, and alternative immunization strategies should be studied.
