Identification of Clinical Factors Associated With the Immunogenicity of Homologous ChAdOx1‐nCoV‐19 Vaccine in Hemodialysis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) patients are at higher risk of severe COVID‐19 and may exhibit suboptimal vaccine responses. This study evaluates the factors influencing vaccine‐induced immunity in HD patients following the second dose of the Vaxzevria. A total of 276 HD patients and 126 controls were included. Antibody responses were assessed using binding
