Safety and Immunogenicity After a Three-Dose SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Schedule in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In allogeneic stem cell transplant (Allo-SCT) recipients, the cell-mediated and humoral immunogenicity of the 3-dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccination schedule has not been investigated in prospective studies. In a prospective cohort, we recruited 122 Allo-SCT recipients since August 2021, when Ontario began offering a 3-dose vaccine schedule for Allo-SCT recipients. We determined humoral and cell-mediated immunity and adverse effects of the 3-dose SARS-COV-2 vaccination schedule in Allo-SCT recipients. In immunogenicity analysis (n = 95), the median (interquartile range [IQR]) antibody titer against the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike (S) protein after the third dose (10,358.0 U/mL [IQR = 673.9-31,753.0]) was significantly higher than that after the first (10.2 U/mL [IQR = 0.6-37.0]) and the second doses (125.6 U/mL [IQR = 2.8-1251.0]) ( P < .0001). The haploidentical donor status was an independent risk factor (adjusted odds ratio = 7.67, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.86-31.60) for suboptimal antibody response (anti-RBD < 100 U/mL). S-specific CD4 + and CD8 + T-cell responses were measured in a subset of Allo-SCT recipients (n = 20) by flow cytometry. Most developed antigen-specific CD4 + (55%-80%) and CD8 + T-cells (80%) after 2 doses of vaccine. Frequencies of CD4 + polyfunctional ( P = .020) and IL-2 monofunctional ( P = .013) T-cells significantly increased after the third dose. Twenty-three episodes (23/301 doses [7.6%]) of new-onset or worsening pre-existing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) occurred, including 4 episodes after the third dose. We observed 4 relapses (3.27%). Seven patients developed SARS-CoV-2 infection despite vaccination , although none required hospitalization. In conclusion, the 3-dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccine schedule provided immunity associated with a low risk of GVHD and other adverse effects. This prospective cohort showed that the third dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in allogeneic stem cell transplant recipients promoted better humoral and cellar immune responses than after the initial series without increasing the risk of GVHD or severe adverse effects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
