“There was a great need to protect these patients, particularly through vaccination,” Dr. Hazenberg says. “At the same time, it was unclear if patients would be able to build up sufficient protection through vaccination since they are immunocompromised. There is not much data on the effect of vaccination as it pertains to the most immunocompromised patients. Therefore, there was a great need to investigate the immunogenicity of COVID-19 vaccinations in patients with hematologic malignancies.”

For a study published in JAMA Oncology, Dr. Hazenberg and colleagues investigated whether a third mRNA-1273 vaccination is linked with increased neutralization of antibody concentrations in patients with hematologic cancers who are immunocompromised compared with levels obtained in healthy controls after the standard two-dose mRNA vaccination schedule.
