Your immune system will take time to recover. During the first year after your transplant, you will be in a higher risk for infections.
You might have to take some medication to prevent infections up to a year after transplant
After 6 months you should start to receive vaccinations and then boosters, similar to the types of vaccines normally given to children.
Once you have sufficiently recovered from your transplant, you can return to the care of your primary oncologists.
You and your transplant physician will review plans for your future care. We will also give you a summary of your treatment and contact information for your transplant team, in case you have questions later.
