History of any malignant diagnosis treated with at least one cycle of cancer directed systemic therapy 6. Must be no more than 60 days from last dose of cancer directed systemic therapy at time of enrollment/randomization 7. As determined by the enrolling physician, ability of the subject and parent/caregiver to understand and comply with study procedures for the entire length of the study Exclusion Criteria: 1. Malignant disease treated with observation, surgery, or radiotherapy alone 2. Known coexisting immunodeficiency 3. Subjects with normal baseline titers for all investigated vaccines 4. Known pregnancy 5. Documented previous severe allergic reaction to any vaccine or component of a vaccine 6. Documented current/active, severe infection, as determined by the investigator
About the study
Pediatric cancer survivors have increased infection-related morbidity and mortality. This study will evaluate immune dysfunction following cancer directed systemic therapy completion, with attention to clinical relevance and infection rate in this population compared to healthy siblings, when applicable. The investigators will also restart vaccinations at earlier time points than previously studied, at 3 months post therapy, and will assess whether boosters or revaccination schedules are superior for regaining immunity against potentially serious infections in survivors.
