Core Tip	Vaccination remains an underused preventive strategy in patients with cirrhosis and liver transplant recipients, despite a substantial burden of vaccine-preventable infections. Vaccine immunogenicity declines with advancing liver disease and is further reduced after transplantation due to immunosuppression, making early, pre-transplant immunization particularly important. Optimizing vaccine timing, formulation, and follow-up can support better integration of vaccination into standard liver transplant care. Novel vaccine platforms may improve immune responses in immunosuppressed patients, but their role in liver transplant recipients requires validation in dedicated clinical studies.
