Kidney disease and vaccinations
Vaccinations remain an important way to help prevent serious diseases in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), those on dialysis, and immunocompromised people, such as kidney transplant recipients.

- It is important to stay up to date with seasonal vaccines. Find out what ones to have.
Always ask your healthcare provider before getting a vaccine and tell the vaccine provider if you are on dialysis, have received a kidney or other organ transplant, or have had a serious reaction to a vaccine in the past.
