Abstract
to believed association with increased allograft rejection. There were no significant differences in the total number of rejection episodes (0.4% vs 0.3%, p 0.7), rejection episodes by month [January (0.4% vs 0%, p 0.2), February (0.5% vs 1.5%, p .08), March (0.5% vs 0%, p .14)], all infections (0.7% vs 0.6%, p 0.6), and viral infections (0.1% vs 0%, p 0.17) between centers who administered flu vaccines and those that did not, respectively. Incidence of flu was low in both groups. Inferences: Flu vaccinations can be given safely to heart transplant pts without an increased incidence of rejection or infection. This information provides clinicians with data to improve clinical practice in heart transplant patients.
