The main issue is whether you will have a good protective response from the vaccines you list (the vaccines would be safe so that part is OK for sure). If your CD4 count is >> 200 then I would expect you to have a reasonably good response to those vaccines and would agree with the recommendation to receive those vaccines. KH
