154

• Healthy control (40)

• Convalescent plasma (16)

One dose of BNT162b2

NA

• A single dose of BNT162b2 vaccine failed to elicit a humoral immune response in most PHD without previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

• The antibody response was delayed in PHD with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection

Zitt et al.[80], 2021

50

NA

Two doses of BNT162b2

• Most common local reactions: pain at the injection site (38% and 29.2% after the first and second injection, respectively)

• Most common systemic reactive events: diarrhea (4% mild, 4% moderate) and fatigue (8% mild)

• Higher age and immunosuppression were associated with lower, calcitriol treatment and prior seroconversion to hepatitis B vaccination with significantly higher antibody concentration

• A high immunogenicity in PHD

Jahn et al. [83], 2021

72

Healthy control (16)

Two doses of BNT162b2

NA

• PHD under 60 years of age responded equally to healthy controls

• The antibody response in PHD negatively correlated with age

Speer et al. [93], 2021

22

Healthy control (46)

Two doses of BNT162b2

NA

• A reduced antibody response to the first and second doses of BNT162b2 in PHD

• The majority (82%) develop neutralizing antibodies after the second dose but at lower levels than healthy controls

Raja et al. [100], 2022

72

Healthy control (72)

One dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19

NA

• A weak antibody response to the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 in PHD

• Older age was associated with no responders

Agur et al. [101], 2022

80

Healthy control (56)

Three doses of BNT162b2

NA

• A third dose of BNT162b2 substantially improved humoral response in PHD

• Baseline antibody level, dialysis therapy, and hypoalbuminemia were independent predictors of impaired antibody response

Dheir et al. [91], 2022

50

• Kidney transplant recipients (64)

• Healthy control (41)

Two doses of CoronaVac

NA

• A negative correlation between antibody seroconversion and age

• The antibody response in PHD is almost comparable to healthy controls but kidney transplant patients have a poor response

Melin et al. [96], 2022

50

NA

Two doses of BNT162b2

NA

• A third dose of BNT162b2 gives a robust and improved immunological response in PHD

Espi et al. [92], 2022

106

Healthy control (30)

Two doses of BNT162B2

NA

• Impaired humoral and cellular immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine in virus-unexposed PHD

Gonzalez-Perez et al. [9], 2022

39

Healthy control (92)

• Patients (two doses of mRNA-1273)

• Control (two doses of BNT162b2)

NA

• PHD develop strong cellular and humoral immune responses to 1273-mRNA vaccination

Stumpf et al. [79], 2022

1168

PPD (58)

Two doses of mRNA-1273 or BNT162B2

• Vaccination-related clinical side effects (fever and arm pain) occurred more often in PPD than in PHD

• No difference in COVID-19 mRNA vaccination-related adaptive immune responses in PPD and PHD

Puspitasari et al. [102], 2023

38

NA

Two doses of the CoronaVac and booster dose of BNT162b2

• Most common AE: mild pain at the injection site (55.26%), mild fatigue (10.53%), and swelling at the injection site (10.53%)

• No SAE

• A good antibody response to the BNT162b2 booster vaccination in PHD
