Australian Immunisation Handbook: Update to recommendations for people who have recently received blood products

Last month, the Australian Immunisation Handbook updated the recommended time intervals for the vaccination of people who have recently received normal human immunoglobulin and other blood products.

The clinical guidance was updated to remove specific guidance regarding rotavirus, zoster and BCG, and to include guidance regarding live JE vaccines.

Immunisation providers should check the Handbook guidance before administering a live vaccine to someone who has received blood products or IVIG.
