Abstract

Allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) recipients show impaired antibody (Ab) response to a standard two-dose vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 and currently a third dose is recommended as part of the primary vaccination regimen. By assessing Ab titres 1 month after a third mRNA vaccine dose in 74 allo-HCT recipients we show sufficient neutralisation activity in 77% of the patients. Discontinuation of immunosuppression before the third vaccine led to serological responses in 50% of low responders to two vaccinations. Identifying factors that might contribute to better vaccine responses in allo-HCT recipients is critical to optimise current vaccination strategies.
