Abstract

Nearly 20 years into the HIV pandemic, vaccination of HIV-infected persons remains controversial. Although vaccine-preventable diseases are common in HIV, concerns about vaccine safety and lack of efficacy in this setting often lead to missed opportunities for vaccination. In this article, we review the literature regarding vaccine risks and benefits and offer recommendations regarding their use and timing in HIV-infected persons.
