Vaccination is a cornerstone of public health, saving millions of lives each year by preventing a variety of infectious diseases. Yet, despite global vaccination efforts, emerging research highlights significant geographical disparities in vaccine efficacy and immunogenicity. These variations underscore the critical interplay between immunological factors and environmental, genetic, and nutritional elements across different populations. Our review article aimed to explore the multifactorial reasons behind geographical variations in vaccine efficacy. Also, this study has shown how important host factors like age, obesity, gender, and genetic diversity, especially within the major histocompatibility complex, are in determining how well a vaccine works. Nutritional status, namely deficiencies in micronutrients such as vitamins and zinc, and lifestyle factors including stress, sleep, alcohol consumption, and physical activity are also shown to have profound effects on vaccine-induced immunity. Importantly, our paper also brought to light the influence of microbial and ecological factors, such as the gut microbiome and environmental pollutants, on the immune system's response to vaccination. The findings emphasize the importance of tailoring vaccination strategies to accommodate the unique immunological landscapes shaped by geographical and societal factors. This tailored approach could enhance vaccine efficacy, reduce disparities in vaccine response, and ultimately contribute to the global fight against infectious diseases.

疫苗接种是公共卫生的基石,每年通过预防各种传染病挽救数百万人的生命。然而,尽管全球都在努力接种疫苗,但新出现的研究却突显了疫苗效力和免疫原性在地域上的显著差异。这些差异凸显了不同人群中免疫因素与环境、遗传和营养要素之间的重要相互作用。我们的综述文章旨在探讨疫苗效力地域差异背后的多因素原因。此外,这项研究还表明,年龄、肥胖、性别和遗传多样性等宿主因素(尤其是主要组织相容性复合体内的遗传多样性)在决定疫苗效果方面是多么重要。营养状况,即维生素和锌等微量元素的缺乏,以及生活方式因素,包括压力、睡眠、饮酒和体育锻炼,也对疫苗诱导的免疫力有深远影响。重要的是,我们的论文还揭示了微生物和生态因素(如肠道微生物群和环境污染物)对免疫系统接种疫苗反应的影响。这些发现强调了调整疫苗接种策略以适应由地理和社会因素形成的独特免疫景观的重要性。这种量身定制的方法可以提高疫苗的效力,减少疫苗反应的差异,并最终促进全球抗击传染病的斗争。

Purpose: Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that most frequently acquires antibiotic resistance. As an opportunistic pathogen, it can cause conditions such as bacteremia, sepsis, and myocarditis. Due to the social need for a vaccine against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), many research groups have been designing and studying vaccines for decades. In this study, we developed a multivalent vaccine and evaluated its efficacy by applying a novel adjuvant, β-glucan.

Materials and methods: A vaccine composed of four pore-forming toxins from S. aureus was administered to rabbits 3 times, after which they were challenged with S. aureus USA 300 LAC strain. We measured changes in the rabbits' body weight to monitor systemic adverse reactions and analyzed the total immunoglobulin G antibody titer against the four antigens using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. For each rabbit, the number of abscesses and colony-forming units (CFU) in the kidneys were measured.

Results: In all vaccinated groups, strong antibody responses against the four antigens were observed. After challenging with MRSA, the vaccinated groups showed less weight change compared to the non-vaccinated groups (average 5.7% versus 13.5%). Additionally, the number of renal abscesses was significantly lower in the vaccinated groups, with three individuals in group 1 (four antigens adjuvanted with β-glucan_PK1) showing no abscess formation. The number of bacteria identified in the kidneys was also statistically significantly lower in the vaccinated group compared to the non-vaccinated group.

Conclusion: We demonstrated that the four toxoid antigens we selected can protect against S. aureus infection in a rabbit model and that β-glucan could be used as an immune enhancer. Overall, our study shows that new antigen combinations can induce protective immunity in animal models and that a toxin-based vaccine can help control bacterial colonization.

目的:金黄色葡萄球菌是一种革兰氏阳性细菌,最常产生抗生素耐药性。作为一种机会性病原体,它可导致菌血症、败血症和心肌炎等病症。由于社会需要针对耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)的疫苗,许多研究小组几十年来一直在设计和研究疫苗。在本研究中,我们开发了一种多价疫苗,并通过应用新型佐剂β-葡聚糖评估了其疗效:给兔子注射由金黄色葡萄球菌的四种孔隙形成毒素组成的疫苗 3 次,然后让兔子接受金黄色葡萄球菌 USA 300 LAC 株的挑战。我们测量了兔子体重的变化,以监测全身不良反应,并使用酶联免疫吸附试验分析了针对四种抗原的总免疫球蛋白 G 抗体滴度。对每只兔子的脓肿数量和肾脏中的菌落形成单位(CFU)进行了测量:结果:在所有接种组中都观察到了针对四种抗原的强抗体反应。在接种 MRSA 后,与未接种组相比,接种组的体重变化较小(平均为 5.7% 对 13.5%)。此外,接种疫苗组的肾脓肿数量明显减少,其中第 1 组(四种抗原与 β-葡聚糖_PK1 佐剂)中有三人没有脓肿形成。与未接种疫苗组相比,接种疫苗组在肾脏中发现的细菌数量在统计学上也明显较低:结论:我们的研究表明,我们选择的四种类毒素抗原可在兔模型中预防金黄色葡萄球菌感染,β-葡聚糖可用作免疫增强剂。总之,我们的研究表明,新的抗原组合可以在动物模型中诱导保护性免疫,而且基于毒素的疫苗有助于控制细菌定植。

Vaccination provides great protection against several infections, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, the endeavor faces multiple context-specific problems that affect its uptake, leading to vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine hesitancy is a focal barrier to the success of COVID-19 vaccination programs. This umbrella review aimed to present a summary of global data regarding vaccine hesitancy and acceptance rates among medical students, health professionals, and health care workers. In this regard, two databases, PubMed and Scopus, were selected for data retrieval and analysis. A search term and an inclusion/exclusion criterion were applied to summarize the findings of existing systematic reviews. A pooled prevalence of vaccine acceptance and hesitancy with 95% confidence interval (CI) was taken as a prerequisite for this review. The results found a high percentage of COVID-19 vaccination ranging from 13.1% (95% CI, 6.9%-20.9%) to 46% (95% CI, 0.38%-0.54%), while the percentage of acceptance varied from 46% (95% CI, 37%-54%) to 83.0% (95% CI, 71%-96%) among medical students, health professionals, and health care workers. This umbrella review found a high percentage of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among medical students, health professionals, and health care workers. Further studies analyzing the determinants of vaccine hesitancy are important predictors for successful vaccination programs at the global level.

接种疫苗可有效预防多种感染,包括冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)。然而,这项工作面临着多种具体问题,这些问题影响了疫苗的接种率,导致人们对疫苗犹豫不决。疫苗犹豫不决是 COVID-19 疫苗接种计划取得成功的主要障碍。本综述旨在总结有关医学生、卫生专业人员和医护人员对疫苗犹豫不决和接受率的全球数据。为此,我们选择了 PubMed 和 Scopus 这两个数据库进行数据检索和分析。采用检索词和纳入/排除标准总结了现有系统性综述的结果。本综述的先决条件是疫苗接受率和犹豫率的总体流行率以及 95% 的置信区间 (CI)。结果发现,COVID-19 疫苗的接种率较高,在医学生、卫生专业人员和医护人员中的接种率从 13.1%(95% CI,6.9%-20.9%)到 46%(95% CI,0.38%-0.54%)不等,而接受率从 46%(95% CI,37%-54%)到 83.0%(95% CI,71%-96%)不等。本综述发现,医学生、卫生专业人员和医护人员对 COVID-19 疫苗犹豫不决的比例很高。进一步研究分析疫苗犹豫不决的决定因素是在全球范围内成功实施疫苗接种计划的重要预测因素。

Purpose: This phase I study aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the PIKA-adjuvanted recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike (S) protein subunit vaccine in healthy adults aged 18 years and older.

Materials and methods: This is a phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study at three dose levels (5 µg, 10 µg, and 20 µg) of the PIKA coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine administered intramuscularly. The three vaccine arms are (A) subjects who have never received any COVID-19 vaccination or have had COVID-19 infection for >6 months prior to enrolment; (B1) subjects whose COVID-19 primary vaccination series was completed with an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine; and (B2) subjects whose primary series was completed with messenger RNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Results: Subjects who reported solicited adverse events (AEs) within seven days post-vaccination ranged from 35% to 60% within each vaccine arm. Most solicited AEs were mild local pain and tenderness. Systemic solicited AEs were only reported in Arm A. In all three vaccine arms, neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers were highest at day 28 (Arms B1 and B2) or day 35 (Arm A) than at baseline for all dose levels against the Wuhan (wild original SARS-CoV-2 virus, Wuhan-Hu-1), Delta (B.1.617.2), and Omicron (B.1.1.529) variants. These were sustained at day 183. Seroconversion rates at day 35 (Arm A, 85.7%-92.9%) or day 183 (Arms B1, 90.9%-100.0%, and B2, 18.2%-36.4%) and geometric mean fold rises were highest in the 5-µg dose level against all three variants.

Conclusion: The PIKA-adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S protein subunit vaccine showed promising immunogenicity profile with no safety concerns. A dose-dependent immune response was observed, with slight advantages seen in low-dose (5 µg and 10 µg) groups (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT05305300).

目的:本 I 期研究旨在评估 PIKA 佐剂重组严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)尖峰(S)蛋白亚单位疫苗在 18 岁及以上健康成人中的安全性、耐受性和免疫原性:这是一项 I 期、开放标签、剂量递增研究,采用三种剂量水平(5 微克、10 微克和 20 微克)肌肉注射 PIKA 冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)疫苗。三个疫苗接种组分别是:(A) 从未接种过任何COVID-19疫苗或在入组前感染COVID-19超过6个月的受试者;(B1) 接种COVID-19灭活疫苗后完成COVID-19初级接种系列的受试者;(B2) 接种COVID-19信使核糖核酸疫苗后完成初级接种系列的受试者:接种后七天内报告不良反应(AEs)的受试者在各疫苗组中占35%至60%。大多数诱发不良反应为轻微的局部疼痛和触痛。在所有三个疫苗接种组中,中和抗体几何平均滴度在第 28 天(接种组 B1 和 B2)或第 35 天(接种组 A)比基线时最高,所有剂量水平的抗体都是针对武汉(野生原始 SARS-CoV-2 病毒,武汉-Hu-1)、Delta(B.1.617.2)和 Omicron(B.1.1.529)变种的。这些结果在第 183 天得以维持。第 35 天(A 组,85.7%-92.9%)或第 183 天(B1 组,90.9%-100.0%;B2 组,18.2%-36.4%)的血清转换率和几何平均折叠上升率在 5µg 剂量水平上针对所有三种变异体最高:结论:PIKA 佐剂重组 SARS-CoV-2 S 蛋白亚单位疫苗显示出良好的免疫原性,没有安全性问题。观察到了剂量依赖性免疫反应,低剂量组(5 微克和 10 微克)略胜一筹(ClinicalTrials.gov 注册号:NCT05305300)。

The present study aimed to evaluate the key characteristics of Toxoplasma gondii rhoptry protein 4 (TgROP4), including physicochemical parameters, structural features, immunogenic epitopes, and virtual immune simulation, using several bioinformatics-based servers and tools. Based on allergenicity and antigenicity outputs, the TgROP4 protein seemed to have an immunogenic and non-allergenic nature. The quality of the three-dimensional (3D) structure improved after refinement, according to the outcomes of the Ramachandran plot and the ProSA-web servers. ABCpred and SVMTriP web tools were used to predict linear B lymphocyte epitopes and found several promising epitopes. Acceptable antigenicity, hydrophilicity, beta-turn, Bepipred linear epitope 2.0, flexibility, and surface accessibility scores were obtained through the Immune Epitope Database (IEDB). Also, seven discontinuous B-cell epitopes ranging from scores 0.966 to 0.848 were found in the 3D model of TgROP4 via the ElliPro. The IEDB findings showed T-cell epitopes on TgROP4 protein are capable to strongly bind to the major histocompatibility complex classes.

Purpose: We aim to analyze the proportion and level of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) seropositivity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and explore factors associated with lower anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike receptor-binding domain (S-RBD) antibody levels.

Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study involving patients with SLE was conducted. We included those aged 18-60 years, either unvaccinated or had received inactivated vaccine (CoronaVac; Sinovac Biotech Ltd., China). Furthermore, participants were tested for anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD antibody levels and SARS-CoV-2 surrogate virus neutralization test, and comparative test analysis was employed.

Results: This study included 159 subjects of whom 92 and 67 were SLE subjects and controls, respectively. Significantly higher seropositive results were noted in patients with SLE receiving vaccine (96.9% versus 3.1%). Unvaccinated SLE patients receiving cyclophosphamide (CYC) had higher anti-RBD levels compared to unvaccinated SLE patients not receiving CYC (23.81 [interquartile range (IQR), 2.26-78.85] versus 2.13 [IQR, 0.1-12.5]), whereas vaccinated SLE patients receiving CYC had lower anti-RBD levels compared to vaccinated SLE patients not receiving CYC (15.5 [IQR, 6.62-35.09] and 69.77 [IQR, 17.48-201]). In the vaccinated SLE group, a lower value of anti-SARS-CoV-2 RBD antibody levels was observed in patients receiving mycophenolate mofetil and those with chronic kidney disease. No correlation was noted between disease activity and organ involvement with lower antibody response.

Conclusion: The increase in COVID-19 antibody levels in patients with SLE may be affected by exposure to hospital settings and vaccine. Furthermore, CYC treatment is associated with lower antibody response after receiving vaccine.

目的:我们旨在分析系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)患者中2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)血清阳性的比例和水平,并探讨与抗严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)尖峰受体结合域(S-RBD)抗体水平较低相关的因素:进行了一项涉及系统性红斑狼疮患者的横断面研究。研究对象包括年龄在 18-60 岁之间、未接种疫苗或已接种灭活疫苗(CoronaVac;中国华卫生物科技有限公司)的患者。此外,我们还对参与者进行了抗SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD抗体水平检测和SARS-CoV-2替代病毒中和试验,并采用了比较试验分析:本研究共纳入 159 名受试者,其中系统性红斑狼疮受试者和对照组分别为 92 人和 67 人。接种疫苗的系统性红斑狼疮患者血清阳性率明显更高(96.9% 对 3.1%)。与未接种疫苗、接受环磷酰胺(CYC)治疗的系统性红斑狼疮患者相比,未接种疫苗、未接受环磷酰胺治疗的系统性红斑狼疮患者的抗 RBD 水平更高(23.81 [四分位距(IQR),2.26-78.85] 对 2.13 [四分位距(IQR),0.1])。13[IQR,0.1-12.5]),而与未接种 CYC 疫苗的系统性红斑狼疮患者相比,接种 CYC 疫苗的系统性红斑狼疮患者的抗 RBD 水平较低(分别为 15.5 [IQR,6.62-35.09] 和 69.77 [IQR,17.48-201])。在接种疫苗的系统性红斑狼疮患者组中,接受霉酚酸酯治疗的患者和患有慢性肾病的患者的抗 SARS-CoV-2 RBD 抗体水平较低。结论:COVID-19 抗体水平的升高与疾病活动性和器官受累与较低的抗体反应之间没有相关性:结论:系统性红斑狼疮患者 COVID-19 抗体水平的升高可能受到医院环境和疫苗暴露的影响。结论:系统性红斑狼疮患者 COVID-19 抗体水平的升高可能会受到医院环境和疫苗的影响。此外,CYC 治疗与接种疫苗后较低的抗体反应有关。

Purpose: This study evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of the PIKA-adjuvanted recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein subunit vaccine as a booster dose for healthy adults who had previously received two or more doses of an inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine.

Materials and methods: The study was a phase II multicenter, double-blinded, comparator-controlled, randomized trial. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either the PIKA COVID-19 vaccine booster dose or an inactivated COVID-19 vaccine (Sinovac, China). Safety was assessed based on adverse events, while immunogenicity was measured by neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels. Data on safety and immunogenicity were collected in the short-term (within 14 days after the booster dose) and long-term (from 90 to 365 days after the booster dose).

Results: The PIKA-adjuvanted vaccine demonstrated a significant increase in neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant (geometric mean ratio [GMR]=2.0 on day 7, p-value <0.001; GMR=2.7 on day 14, p-value <0.001) and the wild type SARS-CoV-2 virus (GMR=2.3 on day 7, p-value <0.001; GMR=2.8 on day 14, p-value<0.001) in the early post-vaccination period when compared to the inactivated vaccine. Additionally, the PIKA COVID-19 vaccine showed higher seroconversion rates for neutralizing antibodies against both variants during the first 14 days post-vaccination. However, there were no significant differences in neutralizing antibody levels between the two vaccines from day 90 to day 360 post-vaccination. Serum IgG antibody levels for the PIKA COVID-19 vaccine were also higher throughout the study period. The incidence of adverse events was slightly higher in the PIKA COVID-19 group, with the most common events being pain at the injection site and headache. All adverse events were mild or moderate, with no reports of severe or life-threatening adverse events in either group.

Conclusion: The PIKA COVID-19 vaccine, when administered as a booster dose, showed promising short- and long-term immunogenicity with no emergent safety issues identified. The booster dose of the PIKA COVID-19 vaccine elicited a robust immune response against various SARS-CoV-2 variants and provided some seroprotection for up to 360 days (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT05463419).

目的:本研究评估了PIKA佐剂重组严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)尖峰蛋白亚单位疫苗作为曾接种过两剂或两剂以上2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)灭活疫苗的健康成人的加强剂量的安全性和免疫原性:该研究是一项II期多中心、双盲、比较对照、随机试验。参与者被随机分配接种PIKA COVID-19疫苗加强剂或COVID-19灭活疫苗(中国华卫公司)。安全性根据不良反应进行评估,免疫原性则通过SARS-CoV-2中和抗体和血清免疫球蛋白G (IgG)水平来衡量。对安全性和免疫原性的数据进行了短期(加强剂量后 14 天内)和长期(加强剂量后 90 天至 365 天)收集:结果:PIKA 佐剂疫苗显示,针对 Omicron 变种的中和抗体显著增加(第 7 天的几何平均比 [GMR]=2.0, p 值 结论:PIKA COVID-19 疫苗对 Omicron 变种的中和抗体显著增加(第 7 天的几何平均比 [GMR]=2.0, p 值):PIKA COVID-19 疫苗作为加强剂量接种后,显示出良好的短期和长期免疫原性,未发现任何突发的安全性问题。PIKA COVID-19 疫苗的加强剂量可引起针对各种 SARS-CoV-2 变体的强大免疫反应,并在长达 360 天的时间内提供一定的血清保护(ClinicalTrials.gov 注册号:NCT05463419)。

Purpose: The effects of coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination on fertility and pregnancy have turned out to be a main topic of public attention. Inactivated or recombinant protein vaccines are a reliable and safe method but mostly suffer from weak immunogenicity just in case formulated with a suitable adjuvant. The purpose of this research was to assess the impacts of new SpikoGen subunit vaccine administration during pregnancy on organogenesis in the rat fetus, which is a novel achievement in teratogenesis studies.

Materials and methods: In the first group (G1) animals received normal saline. A dose of 25 µg of the vaccine was administered to groups of rats as follows: groups 2, 3, 4, and 5 received two doses of vaccine on different days before and after start of pregnancy. On day 21, after the caesarean process, the effects of the vaccine were estimated by morphological, skeletal, and histological studies.

Results: Administration of the SpikoGen vaccine had no significant effect on weight, head diameter, tail length, and length of the fetuses to their tail. There were no malformations, toes and legs were fully developed, and all internal organs of the fetus were completely formed. Also, there was no difference in the overall skeletal opacity and density between the control and treatment groups.

Conclusion: The results of this study indicated no negative impacts of the vaccine administration during pregnancy on developing of fetuses in rats.

目的:2019 年冠状病毒疾病疫苗接种对生育和妊娠的影响已成为公众关注的主要话题。灭活或重组蛋白疫苗是一种可靠而安全的方法,但大多存在免疫原性弱的问题,只是在使用适当佐剂的情况下。本研究的目的是评估孕期接种新型 SpikoGen 亚单位疫苗对大鼠胎儿器官发育的影响,这是致畸研究中的一项新成果:第一组(G1)动物接受生理盐水。第 2、3、4 和 5 组大鼠分别在妊娠开始前后的不同日子接种了两剂 25 µg 疫苗。剖腹产后第 21 天,通过形态学、骨骼和组织学研究评估疫苗的效果:结果:接种SpikoGen疫苗对胎儿的体重、头径、尾长和尾长没有明显影响。胎儿没有畸形,脚趾和腿完全发育,所有内脏器官完全形成。此外,对照组和治疗组在整体骨骼不透明度和密度方面没有差异:结论:本研究结果表明,怀孕期间注射疫苗对大鼠胎儿的发育没有负面影响。

Purpose: A booster coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination was proposed to preserve immunity and prevent new variants of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus. The objectives of this study are to investigate clinical manifestations, associated factors and course of cutaneous reactions after the booster dose of COVID-19 vaccination, compared to the recommended 1st and 2nd doses.

Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Siriraj Hospital, Bangkok. Adult patients who reported cutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination from April 2021 to February 2022 were included. Data were collected from electronic medical records and analyzed.

Results: A total of 521 subjects with a median age of 38 years were included. Females predominated (80.2%). Most reactions were reported after receiving CoronaVac (49.1%) and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (46.3%). The injection site reaction was the most reported. Twenty-one patients reported rash after the 3rd booster dose, with messenger RNA vaccines in most cases. Patients in this group had significantly fewer injection site reactions compared to those with the 1st and 2nd vaccination (70.6% vs. 91.5%) with an increasing proportion of new-onset urticaria (17.6% vs. 5.4%, p=0.023). The rash after the 3rd booster vaccination tended to have a longer duration of reactions (p=0.001). Boosting with a vaccine different from the 1st dose may not affect the reaction. Age and sex did not affect booster rash. In this study, no serious cutaneous reactions were found.

Conclusion: Most adverse cutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination are mild in severity, especially after booster vaccination, and should not discourage the benefits of getting vaccinated.

目的:建议加强接种冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)疫苗,以保持免疫力并预防严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2 病毒的新变种。本研究的目的是调查接种COVID-19加强剂疫苗后皮肤反应的临床表现、相关因素和病程,并与推荐的第1剂和第2剂疫苗进行比较:这项回顾性队列研究在曼谷西里拉吉医院进行。研究纳入了 2021 年 4 月至 2022 年 2 月期间报告接种 COVID-19 疫苗后出现皮肤反应的成人患者。研究人员从电子病历中收集数据并进行分析:结果:共纳入 521 名受试者,中位年龄为 38 岁。女性占多数(80.2%)。大多数反应发生在接受 CoronaVac(49.1%)和 ChAdOx1 nCoV-19(46.3%)后。报告最多的是注射部位反应。21 名患者报告在接种第 3 次加强剂量后出现皮疹,其中大多数是信使 RNA 疫苗引起的。与接种第 1 和第 2 次疫苗的患者相比,该组患者的注射部位反应明显减少(70.6% 对 91.5%),新发荨麻疹的比例增加(17.6% 对 5.4%,P=0.023)。第 3 次加强接种后的皮疹反应持续时间往往更长(p=0.001)。接种不同于第一剂的疫苗可能不会影响反应。年龄和性别对加强接种皮疹没有影响。本研究未发现严重的皮肤反应:结论:接种 COVID-19 疫苗后的大多数皮肤不良反应,尤其是加强免疫后的皮肤不良反应,其严重程度都很轻微,不应影响接种疫苗的益处。

Most reactions were reported after receiving CoronaVac (49.1%) and ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (46.3%). The injection site reaction was the most reported. Twenty-one patients reported rash after the 3rd booster dose, with messenger RNA vaccines in most cases. Patients in this group had significantly fewer injection site reactions compared to those with the 1st and 2nd vaccination (70.6% vs. 91.5%) with an increasing proportion of new-onset urticaria (17.6% vs. 5.4%, p=0.023). The rash after the 3rd booster vaccination tended to have a longer duration of reactions (p=0.001). Boosting with a vaccine different from the 1st dose may not affect the reaction. Age and sex did not affect booster rash. In this study, no serious cutaneous reactions were found.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Most adverse cutaneous reactions after COVID-19 vaccination are mild in severity, especially after booster vaccination, and should not discourage the benefits of getting vaccinated.</p>","PeriodicalId":51768,"journal":{"name":"Clinical and Experimental Vaccine Research","volume":"13 4","pages":"309-314"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11543796/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142632331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
