Immunogenicity and Safety of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Among Actively Treated Cancer Patients

Hagai Ligumsky et al.

Summary: The study found that solid tumor patients had lower antibody titers and a lower proportion of seropositive patients compared to healthy individuals, especially among chemotherapy-treated patients. The BNT162b2 vaccine was safe and well-tolerated in these patients, with no severe side effects reported. Continued use of personal protective measures is recommended for this population even after vaccination.

Understanding COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance: another challenge in cancer patients

Nesrine Mejri et al.

Summary: The study found that factors like educational level, history of comorbidities, history of influenza vaccination, and patient's opinion about COVID-19 severity did not predict vaccine resistance. However, patients who thought the vaccine may interfere with treatment efficacy or cancer outcome were more likely to refuse the vaccine. Patients who disagreed that the vaccine is a major weapon against the pandemic or could reduce virus transmission were also more likely to reject vaccination. Safety concerns and confidence in authorities were also significant predictive factors.

COVID-19 vaccines for patients with cancer: benefits likely outweigh risks

Joyce K. Hwang et al.

Summary: Within less than a year of the COVID-19 pandemic, ten vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 have been approved, with two mRNA-based vaccines showing promising results. Concerns arise about the safety and efficacy of these vaccines for cancer patients undergoing immunomodulatory treatments, but most cancer therapies should not hinder the generation of protective immunity. Additional research in this area is needed and it is recommended that the majority of cancer patients receive COVID vaccinations when possible.

Leticia Monin et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 vaccine in cancer patients. The results showed poor efficacy of a single vaccine dose in cancer patients, with significantly increased immunogenicity in solid cancer patients after a vaccine boost at day 21. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize cancer patients for an early second dose on day 21.

Summary: The rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines has provided new hope of mitigating the disease, and it is necessary to prioritize cancer patients, including those participating in oncology clinical trials, for vaccination. Data on the safety, tolerability and efficacy of the vaccines in patients with cancer are currently limited, but the benefits of vaccination are likely to far outweigh the risks of adverse events.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and resistance: Correlates in a nationally representative longitudinal survey of the Australian population

Ben Edwards et al.

Summary: This study found that while a majority of Australian adults expressed willingness to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, a significant proportion still displayed hesitancy or resistance. Factors such as gender, socioeconomic status, perception of COVID-19 risks, populist views, and religiosity were associated with higher levels of hesitancy or resistance. On the other hand, individuals with higher household income, supportive of social distancing, trusting in government and hospitals, or in favor of migration were more likely to intend to get vaccinated.

Summary: Eight out of 10 adults in Latin America and the Caribbean have COVID-19 vaccination intention (VI) and fear of its adverse effects (FAE). Factors such as being female or non-binary, living in a town, village or rural area, and economic insecurity were associated with a higher probability of FAE. Additionally, fears of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19, a family member becoming seriously ill, and having depressive symptoms were associated with a higher probability of VI and FAE.
