“…It should be assumed that patients with CD4 count <400 cells/μL and especially those with CD4 count <200 cells/μL are likely to have reduced response rates. Although HIV‐infected persons may have less durable antibody responses, there is insufficient evidence for modifying the boosting requirements [101,102].…”

“…Several studies, including recent trials of yellow fever vaccine in adults [12] and pneumococcal vaccine in children [13], have observed reduced efficacy of vaccines and lower titers of vaccine-elicited antibodies in those with HIV, as reviewed in [14, 15]. One abnormality that was linked to poor vaccine response is a defect in class switching.…”

“…Many diseases protected against by vaccine cause higher morbidity and mortality in HIVinfected patients, [1][2][3][4] and some of them share the same route of transmission as HIV infection. 5 Despite highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the technological and scientific advances that have significantly improved life expectancy in HIV-infected patients, questions about the immunization of this population have come to the foreground of medical practice.…”

HIV-infected patients are at risk for vaccine-preventable infections. The Brazilian National Immunization Program provided recommendations for this population. However, the vaccine coverage reached by this program is unknown. This study aimed at evaluating the vaccine coverage of HIV-infected adults followed at Hospital das Clínicas, University of São Paulo School of Medicine. Data were collected on age, gender, mode of HIV transmission, Centers for Disease Classification 1993 classification (CDC/93), antiretrovirals, CD4 count, HIV viral load, and immunization charts, from April 2003 to August 2004. We interviewed 144 randomly selected patients, 74% male; mean age, 39.95 years; CDC classification: A, 40.6%; B, 19.6%; and C, 39.9%. Most of patients were undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART; 86.8%). Mean CD4 count 442.6 cells/mm3. Viral load less than 400 copies per milliliter in 59.4% of patients. Only 36.1% of patients were adequately immunized for diphtheria/tetanus, 54.9% for pneumococcus, 24.3% for flu, and 76.9% for hepatitis B. In relation to live attenuated vaccines, 5 patients received measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine and 7 patients yellow fever vaccine. Two patients were vaccinated against yellow fever despite CD4 less than 200 cell/mm3. We verified poor vaccine coverage in HIV-infected patients. Vaccination campaigns and incorporation of vaccine rooms in sexually transmitted disease (STD)/AIDS clinics could improve this situation.
