The Impact of Vaccination on Incidence and Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Patients with Kidney Failure in Scotland

Samira Bell et al.

Summary: The study in Scotland found that 93% of KRT-treated patients had received two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine, but the effectiveness of the vaccine against infection and hospitalization was only 33% and 38%, respectively. Fully vaccinated patients had higher mortality rates and additional strategies are urgently needed to reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection and complications in this population.

Early assessment of the clinical severity of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant in South Africa: a data linkage study

Nicole Wolter et al.

Summary: According to data analysis from South Africa, individuals infected with the omicron variant have a lower likelihood of hospitalization compared to those infected with non-omicron variants. Furthermore, individuals infected with the omicron variant have a lower odds of severe disease compared to individuals infected with the earlier delta variant.

Review of Early Immune Response to SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination Among Patients With CKD

Edward J. Carr et al.

Summary: The effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in CKD patients, particularly transplant recipients and those receiving dialysis, varies in terms of antibody development rates. Further research is needed to evaluate the vaccine efficacy in these populations. Rigorous surveillance is crucial for early detection of potential adverse effects, especially for patients with autoimmune diseases and transplant recipients.
