Recommendations
As issued by the authors
If a vaccine has been recently administered or planned, for non-urgent indications, offer the CSI at least 1 week before or after vaccine administration.
For healthy patients, CSI or vaccine administration may be performed without a 7-day interval after informed discussion and consent regarding the risk of blunted vaccine efficacy.
For non-healthy patients, shared decision-making should include discussion of diminished vaccine effectiveness and the possibility of influenza or COVID-19 infection.
