  • Immunocompromised condition, including known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity (requiring anti-retroviral therapy or with CD4 count \<300), acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), organ (bone marrow) transplant recipients, and hematological malignancy. Immunosuppressive therapy, including use of high-dose corticosteroids (for example, \>40 mg prednisone or equivalent per day for greater than 2 weeks)
