EASL position paper on the use of COVID-19 vaccines in patients with chronic liver diseases, hepatobiliary cancer and liver transplant recipients

Markus Cornberg et al.

Summary: According to a recent estimate by the World Health Organization, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has affected nearly 100 million people globally, with patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD) at higher risk of infections. Vaccination against various pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, is important for these patients, although impaired immune responses may affect the efficacy of immunization. The safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in patients with CLD, cirrhosis, hepatobiliary cancer, and liver transplant recipients still require further study.

Christian nationalism and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and uptake

Katie E. Corcoran et al.

Summary: Christian nationalism is one of the strongest predictors of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and is negatively associated with vaccine uptake. Understanding this relationship could have important implications for achieving herd immunity, as Christian nationalists make up approximately 20 percent of the population.

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.

COVID-19 Vaccine: A Survey of Hesitancy in Patients with Celiac Disease

Andrea Costantino et al.

Summary: A study found that 25.2% of Italian CD patients had hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccines, with a 4.8% refusal rate. The main reason for hesitancy was fear of adverse events related to vaccination. Determinants positively influencing willingness to be vaccinated included adherence to a GFD, good knowledge about COVID-19 and its vaccines, and a positive attitude towards previous vaccines.

Italian association for the study of the liver position statement on SARS-CoV2 vaccination

Francesco Paolo Russo et al.

Summary: The vaccination campaign against Sars-CoV-2 started in Italy at the end of December 2020, initially targeting health workers and nursing home residents before expanding to the general population. While SARS-CoV2 vaccines are considered safe for the general population, there is currently no data available for patients with liver diseases or those who have undergone liver transplantation. The AISF's current position statement is based on published data on the impact of Sars-Cov-2 infection on patients with chronic liver disease, suggesting a potential vaccination priority for this group of patients.
