Chemotherapy immunisation protocol

This protocol outlines a structured immunisation schedule for children after standard-dose chemotherapy for solid cancers or leukaemia. Vaccinations are recommended at 6, 8, and 12 months post-treatment and include DTaP/IPV/Hib, MenC, PCV, MenB, MMR, and HPV. It also provides guidance for children with splenic dysfunction or asplenia and recommends annual influenza vaccination. Timing and coordination with healthcare teams are essential to ensure safety and effectiveness.
