Immune responses after two-strain COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in patients on kidney dialysis

Updated

Abstract

Immunogenicity was investigated following bivalent vaccines in hemodialysis patients.

  • Hemodialysis patients are at increased risk for severe illness and mortality from COVID-19.
  • Bivalent vaccines include antigens from both the ancestral strain and omicron variants BA.1 or BA.4/BA.5.
  • The study focuses on the immune response generated by these vaccines in the specific population of hemodialysis patients.
  • Findings may provide insights into the effectiveness of vaccination strategies for vulnerable groups.
