Abstract
Patients with hematologic conditions have a higher risk of severe COVID-19 and COVID-19-related death. This is related to immune deficiencies induced by hematologic conditions and/or the treatment thereof. Prospective vaccine immunogenicity studies have demonstrated that in the majority of patients, a 3-dose COVID-19 vaccination schedule leads to antibody concentrations comparable to levels obtained in healthy adults after a 2-dose schedule. In B cell depleted patients, humoral responses are poor, however vaccination did induce potent cellular immune responses. The effect of 3-dose vaccination schedules and COVID-19 booster vaccinations on the protection of patients with hematologic malignancies against severe COVID-19 and COVID-19 related death remains to be confirmed by population-based vaccine effectiveness studies.
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Hematology aims to present subjects of current importance in clinical hematology, including related areas of oncology, hematopathology, and blood banking. The journal''s unique issue structure allows for a multi-faceted overview of a single topic via a curated selection of review articles, while also offering a variety of articles that present dynamic and front-line material immediately influencing the field. Seminars in Hematology is devoted to making the important and current work accessible, comprehensible, and valuable to the practicing physician, young investigator, clinical practitioners, and internists/paediatricians with strong interests in blood diseases. Seminars in Hematology publishes original research, reviews, short communications and mini- reviews.
