Is prior lymph node resection, with or without lymphedema, a contraindication for vaccination in that extremity?
No, assuming that the disease for which the lymph node resection was done is not present. Lymph node resection isn’t a contraindication to any other vaccine, in the absence of underlying immunosuppressive disease. If the resection did not involve both arms, it may be prudent to use the unaffected arm.
