Patients undergoing stem cell transplantation loose their protection from basic vaccinations done during childhood and need to be immunised again to be protected from diphteria, tetanus, polio and haemophilus influenza. Improved protection against pertussis will also be studied.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Does immunisation with combination vaccine DTPPH give the same levels of protecting antibodies 1 and 6 months after the third dose, as immunistion with individual vaccines after stem cell transplantation? ;Secondary Objective: Are achieved levels of antibodies higher, leading to an assumed longer protection against Bordetella pertussis after immunisation with Infanrix-Polio-Hib after stem cell transplantation 1 and 6 months after the third dose?;Primary end point(s): Quantitative IgG antibody level for tetanus and diphtheria, 1 and 6 months after the third dose. At a later stage the study might possibly be extended to include analysis of IgG antibodies against Polio and HIB. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1 and 6 months after the third dose. | — |
