Abstract
Organ transplant recipients are vulnerable to a variety of infections because of the immunosuppressed state required to prevent organ rejection. We review the recommendations of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Atlanta, Georgia) for smallpox vaccination and the possible complications of vaccination in the population with organ transplants. The risk of these complications is presumably dependent on the extent of deficient cell-mediated immunity.
