Safety and antibody response to the first dose of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 messenger RNA vaccine in persons with HIV

Jake A. Ruddy et al.

Summary: In a study involving 12 people with HIV who received the first dose of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination, detectable anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain antibodies were found in all participants; those with lower CD4(+) counts showed lower antibody levels, and vaccine reactions were generally mild.

Antibody response to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine among kidney transplant recipients: a prospective cohort study

Benaya Rozen-Zvi et al.

Summary: Kidney transplant recipients showed a low antibody response rate of 36.4% after receiving the SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. Factors associated with antibody response include estimated glomerular filtration rate, medication dosage, age, and calcineurin inhibitor blood level.

Low immunogenicity to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among liver transplant recipients

Liane Rabinowich et al.

Summary: Liver transplant recipients showed significantly lower immunological response to the Pfizer-BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-based vaccine, with less than half developing sufficient levels of antibodies and lower average antibody levels compared to healthy controls. Predictors for non-response included older age, renal function and immunosuppressive medications.

BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine is significantly less effective in patients with hematologic malignancies

Katrin Herzog Tzarfati et al.

Summary: Patients with hematologic malignancies have a reduced immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine, with lower seropositivity rates and antibody titers, increasing their risk for severe infection.

COVID-19 in immunocompromised populations: implications for prognosis and repurposing of immunotherapies

Jason D. Goldman et al.

Summary: This review examines the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on mortality in populations with distinct forms of immunocompromise and discusses the immune dysregulation in COVID-19. It suggests that certain immunosuppressants may have varying effects on different populations, providing insights for the treatment of COVID-19.

Safety and Tolerability of SARS-CoV2 Emergency-Use Authorized Vaccines for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients

Haris Ali et al.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed 113 allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) patients who received SARS-CoV2 vaccines, and found that the vaccines were well tolerated in this group. Common side effects included myalgias/arthralgias, fatigue, injection site pain, and liver function abnormalities, as well as neutropenia and other hematologic issues.

Safety and Immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Patients after Allogeneic HCT or CD19-based CART therapy-A Single-Center Prospective Cohort Study

Ron Ram et al.

Summary: In this prospective evaluation, the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine showed good tolerability and impressive immunogenicity in patients after allogeneic HCT or CART. While most adverse events were mild and transient, some significant hematologic events were observed, indicating the need for close monitoring of patients.
