Popis: BackgroundPatients with kidney diseases are at risk of severe complications from COVID-19, yet little is known about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in children and adolescents with kidney diseases.MethodsWe investigated the immunogenicity and safety of an accelerated, 3-dose primary series of COVID-19 vaccines among 64 pediatric chronic kidney disease patients (mean age 12.2; 32 male) with or without immunosuppression, dialysis, or kidney transplant. CoronaVac was given to those aged ResultsAntibody responses including S-RBD IgG (90.9-100% seropositive) and surrogate virus neutralization (geometric mean sVNT% level, 78.6-94.0%) were significantly elicited by 3 doses of any vaccine. T cell responses were also elicited. Weaker neutralization responses were observed among kidney transplant recipients and non-dialysis children receiving rituximab for glomerular diseases. Neutralization was reduced against Omicron BA.1 compared to wild-type (post-dose 3 sVNT% level; 84% vs 27.2%; pConclusionsOur findings support that an accelerated 3-dose primary series with CoronaVac and BNT162b2 is safe and immunogenic in young children and adolescents with kidney diseases.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicaltrials.govNCT04800133SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTLittle is known about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in children and adolescents with kidney diseases. This paper describes the antibody and T cell responses of 3 doses of CoronaVac or BNT162b2, the top 2 COVID-19 vaccines distributed worldwide, by an accelerated regimen in patients with kidney diseases aged 1-18 years. Antibody and T cell responses were significantly elicited by either vaccine. Neutralization was reduced against Omicron while T cell response was preserved, which likely confer protection against severe COVID-19. Rate of severe adverse reactions was low in the study. Results confirm that accelerated 3-dose primary series with CoronaVac and BNT162b2 is safe and immunogenic in young children and adolescents with kidney diseases.
