ABSTRACT
Vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) pose a serious public health concern for people living with HIV (PLH). PLH experience a delayed and weakened response to many vaccines available, compared to the general population. Lower seroconversion rates, along with a decreased efficacy and durability of vaccines, increases the susceptibility of PLH to VPDs. Vaccination guidelines specifically targeting this population have been modified to overcome these challenges. However, vaccine uptake remains suboptimal due to multiple barriers, highlighting the need for further studies and the additional implementation of public health measures specifically tailored to PLH.
