How can this vaccine affect other medicines?

People taking medicines that suppress the activity of the immune system, for example chemotherapy, high-dose corticosteroids, or immunosuppressants used following an organ transplant, may not produce adequate numbers of antibodies in response to this vaccine. As a result, the vaccine may be less effective in these people.

This vaccine can be safely given at the same time as the hepatitis B vaccine. If given at the same time, these vaccines should be given into different limbs.

This vaccine can be safely given to women taking oral contraceptives.

The effect of giving this vaccine at the same time as any other vaccines, or in combination with any other medicines has not been studied. You should let your doctor know if you are taking any medicines, or have recently had any other vaccines, or have recently been given immunoglobulin or other blood products, before you are given this vaccine.
