Population antibody responses following COVID-19 vaccination in 212,102 individuals

Helen Ward et al.

Summary: Population antibody surveillance is crucial for tracking immune responses to COVID-19 vaccinations. The study found that antibody positivity peaks 4-5 weeks after the first dose of the vaccine and then declines. Age, gender, comorbidities, and infection history affect antibody positivity rates.

Outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Unvaccinated Compared With Vaccinated Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Propensity Matched Cohort Study

Victoria G. Hall et al.

Summary: This study examines the outcomes and severity of COVID-19 infection in solid organ transplant recipients who have been vaccinated. The findings suggest that vaccinated patients who develop breakthrough infections have similar disease severity to unvaccinated patients. This highlights the importance of alternative strategies for this population, considering the need for multiple vaccine doses in SOT recipients.

Risk factors for unfavorable outcome and impact of early post-transplant infection in solid organ recipients with COVID-19: A prospective multicenter cohort study

Sonsoles Salto-Alejandre et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the characteristics and predictors of unfavorable outcomes in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) with COVID-19. Factors like advanced age, high respiratory rate, lymphopenia, and elevated level of lactate dehydrogenase were identified as independent predictors of ICU admission or death. Early diagnosis of COVID-19 post-transplantation was associated with poorer clinical prognosis.

Safety and Reactogenicity of 2 Doses of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients

Michael T. Ou et al.

Summary: The study found that the safety and reactogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines in transplant recipients were similar to those reported in the original trials, with rare severe reactions. These early safety data may help reduce vaccine hesitancy among transplant recipients.

Antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in 45,965 adults from the general population of the United Kingdom

Jia Wei et al.

Summary: A longitudinal study on 45,965 adults in the UK revealed that older individuals, especially those aged >60 years, had lower antibody levels after a single dose of ChAdOx1 or BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccines. Prioritizing vaccine allocation for those not previously infected and older individuals for the second dose is recommended based on the findings. Further data is needed to fully understand the relationship between quantitative antibody responses and vaccine-mediated protection.
