Note: Data are shown as median (IQR) and compared using Wilcoxon rank sum test, or as frequency (%) and compared using Fisher’s exact test. HSCT, hematopoietic stem cell transplant. IU, international units, AU, arbitrary units. Tetanus and diphtheria vaccinations were only included if they were given post-HSCT.
