Latent class analysis of medical mistrust and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among adults in the United States just prior to FDA emergency use authorization

Phoebe A. Lamuda et al.

Summary: Using a nationally representative household sample, the study investigated the relationship between medical mistrust and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. The results showed that different trust archetypes significantly predicted individuals' willingness to receive the vaccine. Efforts to combat vaccine hesitancy should focus on building trust between providers and patients, as well as increasing trust in medical research.

Kidney transplant recipients' attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination and barriers and enablers to vaccine acceptance

Dhakshayini Tharmaraj et al.

Summary: Among adult kidney transplant recipients who had not been vaccinated against COVID-19, 73.1% planned to receive vaccination, 22.2% were undecided, and 4.7% refused vaccination. The undecided group, who were younger, had more negative attitudes and concerns towards vaccination, particularly regarding safety, efficacy, and testing. Most undecided recipients expressed willingness to proceed with vaccination with specific supports from their transplant specialist/team.

Efficacy of covid-19 vaccines in immunocompromised patients: systematic review and meta-analysis

Ainsley Ryan Yan Bin Lee et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis compared the efficacy of covid-19 vaccines between immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. The results showed that immunocompromised patients, especially organ transplant recipients, had significantly lower rates of seroconversion after covid-19 vaccination. A second dose of the vaccine consistently improved seroconversion in all patient groups, although the improvement was smaller for organ transplant recipients. Targeted interventions, including a third dose (booster) of the vaccine, should be performed for immunocompromised patients.

Hesitancy toward the Full COVID-19 Vaccination among Kidney, Liver and Lung Transplant Recipients in Italy

Andrea Costantino et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy exists among solid organ transplant recipients, with concerns about adverse events and perceived lack of efficacy being the main reasons. Establishing appropriate and targeted patient-doctor communication strategies, as well as implementing specific vaccination campaigns, is crucial to reduce COVID-19-related morbidity and mortality.

Gurmukteshwar Singh et al.

Summary: This study found that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the healthcare experience of organ transplant patients, especially older patients in underserved communities. The vaccination rate for COVID-19 was relatively low, driven by misconceptions and lack of trust.

Analysis of Risk Factors for a Low Immune Response to Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Kidney Transplant Recipients and Differences Between Second and Third Dose

A. Panarese et al.

Summary: Kidney transplant recipients have a low efficacy of response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and older age, shorter time since transplant, and triple immunosuppressive therapy are risk factors for lack of seroconversion. The third dose of the vaccine significantly improves antibody response.

What Contributes to COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy? A Systematic Review of the Psychological Factors Associated with COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy

John Romate et al.

Summary: Vaccine hesitancy plays a crucial role in global pandemic control, influenced by various psychological factors. Studies reveal that vaccine hesitancy mainly involves evaluations of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccine safety, and trust, with misinformation on social media exacerbating the issue.

Humoral and cellular immune response after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 messenger ribonucleic acid vaccination in heart transplant recipients: An observational study in France

Alice Casenaz et al.

Summary: The study showed that three doses of vaccine induced a positive SARS-CoV-2 T-cell response in 47% of heart transplant recipients and a positive humoral response in 83% of recipients 3-5 months after vaccination. There was a suggestion for a booster vaccination at 5 months after the third dose.

Dialysis, Distress, and Difficult Conversations: Living with a Kidney Transplant

Clare McKeaveney et al.

Summary: This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences of kidney transplant recipients. The results revealed that the participants continue to manage ongoing fears of dialysis, distress, and the impact of COVID-19, as well as dealing with difficult conversations. Renal healthcare professionals need to recognize the holistic and multidomain experiences of kidney patients to provide responsive psychosocial care.

Stressors and Information-Seeking by Dialysis and Transplant Patients During COVID-19, Reported on a Telephone Hotline: A Mixed-Methods Study

Yaquelin A. Arevalo Iraheta et al.

Summary: This study investigated the stress and information-seeking behaviors of dialysis and transplant patients during the COVID-19 pandemic through a telephone hotline. The results showed that patients commonly faced stressors such as delayed medical visits, difficulty in accessing medication, and obtaining up-to-date health information. Some patients exhibited anxiety and depression symptoms and sought emotional support and more disease-specific information. The study suggests the need for tailored interventions for the kidney and transplant community, including mental health resources and education support.

Kidney Transplant Recipient Attitudes Toward a SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine

Michael T. Ou et al.

Summary: The majority of solid organ transplant recipients express skepticism towards receiving a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, citing concerns such as potential side effects, lack of rigor in testing and development process, and incompatibility with organ transplants. Despite the announcement of high vaccine efficacy, only a small increase in willingness to receive the vaccine was observed, with the majority of recipients indicating they would accept the vaccine if recommended by a transplant provider.

Carl Latkin et al.

Summary: The study found that various factors such as trust, social norms, and political orientation influence COVID-19 vaccine intentions. To promote vaccine trust, strategies like social network diffusion and cross-partisan messaging are needed. Additionally, tailored campaigns based on gender and race differences are also necessary.

Perspectives of solid organ transplant recipients on medicine-taking: Systematic review of qualitative studies

James Tang et al.

Summary: Medicine-taking among transplant recipients is a complex task that impacts outcomes significantly. Transplant recipients face threats to identity, uncertainty and distrust, treatment burdens, seeking and gaining confidence, recalibrating to a new normal post-transplant, and preserving graft survival. Interventions supporting adaptation to medicine-taking and addressing treatment burdens may improve patient satisfaction and medication adherence.

Public acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines: cross-national evidence on levels and individual-level predictors using observational data

Marie Fly Lindholt et al.

Summary: This study examined the levels and predictors of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance in eight Western democracies, revealing significant variations in acceptance rates among different countries. Lack of vaccine acceptance was associated with distrust in authorities and scientists, conspiratorial thinking, and a lack of concern about COVID-19. Most national levels of vaccine acceptance were found to fall below estimates for herd immunity, emphasizing the importance of building trust for health emergencies and focusing on personal consequences of infections in health communication strategies.
