Revaccination to restore immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) is essential risk mitigation in the prevention of infectious morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). However, revaccination rates have been shown to be insufficient and to what extent vaccine hesitancy contributes to survivors not becoming fully revaccinated is unknown. We performed a cross-sectional, mixed methods survey-based study to explore how vaccine hesitancy influences revaccination among US adult HCT survivors who were 2 to 8 years after transplant.

Background: Hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivorship care includes recommendations for post-HCT revaccination to restore immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). However, not all survivors agree to be vaccinated. No existing studies have comprehensively reported barriers and facilitators to adult HCT survivors completing revaccination.

Comprehensive survivorship care after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) includes revaccination to restore immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs). There is complexity to revaccination in this setting, and revaccination rates are sub-optimal. HCT survivors are at high-risk for morbidity and mortality from infections including VPDs, underscoring the importance of interventions to improve revaccination rates among survivors.

Post-transplantation revaccination uptake of childhood vaccines in adult hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) survivors is suboptimal, increasing the risk of infectious morbidity and mortality within this population. We systematically reviewed the literature for factors related to revaccination uptake, as well as the barriers and facilitators that affect successful revaccination. We conducted a scoping review searching PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science in March 2023.

Objective: To determine usability and acceptability of the electronic self-assessment and care (eSAC) web-based, patient reported outcome (PRO) program for people with advanced ovarian cancer.

Methods: Patient participants recruited from a single ambulatory site were prompted by email to answer symptom/quality of life items prior to each clinic visit. Patient participant acceptability was measured with the Acceptability E-Scale Score (AES).

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Mihkai Wickline"

  • - Mihkai Wickline's recent research primarily focuses on the challenges and factors influencing revaccination among hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) survivors, aiming to identify barriers and facilitators that impact timely vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs).
  • - Multiple studies utilizing mixed methods have highlighted the significant role of vaccine hesitancy, demographic factors, and social determinants of health in determining revaccination status among adult HCT survivors in the United States.
  • - Wickline's work emphasizes the critical importance of improving revaccination rates in this high-risk population to mitigate infectious morbidity and mortality, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and comprehensive survivorship care strategies.
