This is a phase II study that will examine the immunogenicity of the Shingrix vaccine in patients following an allogeneic stem cell transplant.
Cell mediated immunity is severely compromised after an allogeneic stem cell transplantation. This results in an increased risk of zoster with its associated morbidity and mortality. Patients typically receive prophylactic antivirals for 1 year after AlloSCT which reduces the incidence of zoster during this period. Unfortunately, after completing prophylaxis, patients continue to be at a significantly increased risk of zoster with an incidence rate of up to 29% at 3-years post transplant. The recombinant zoster vaccine provides immunogenicity and has shown clinical efficacy in preventing zoste…

Shingrix vaccine will be given to all eligible patients at one to three year post allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
