Popis: | Background Humoral responses to COVID-19 vaccines in hemodialysis patients can direct vaccination policy. Methods We compared 409 COVID-19 naïve hemodialysis patients from 13 hemodialysis units in Israel to 148 non-dialysis dependent COVID-19 naïve controls. Twenty-four previously infected (anti-nucleocapsid positive) hemodialysis patients were analyzed separately. Blood samples were obtained ≥ 14 days post vaccination (BNT162b2) to assess seroconversion-rates and titers of anti-S and neutralizing antibodies. Results Median time from vaccination to blood sample collection was 82 (IQR 64–87) and 89 (IQR 68–96) days, for hemodialysis patients and controls, respectively. Seroconversion rates were lower in hemodialysis patients compared to controls for both anti-S and neutralizing antibodies (89% and 77% vs. 99.3%, respectively, P Graphical Abstract Graphical Abstract |
