Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Individuals ≥18 years old

2a. In the opinion of the investigator, individuals with immunosuppressive disease who meet one of the following criteria:

  • Primary immunodeficiency
  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infection
  • Allogeneic stem cell transplantation / Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR T cell) therapy

Planned to receive another vaccine within 14 days before the first dose of the study vaccine, or during the period from the first dose of the study vaccine up to 14 days after the second dose of the study vaccine, and vaccination with another vaccine which in the investigator's opinion cannot be planned outside these time periods
  4. Pregnancy or breast feeding.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The study is designed as an open, non-randomized, phase IV cohort study in which the mRNA vaccine Comirnaty will be given in two doses. Analyses will be performed on blood and saliva, investigating humoral and cellular vaccine responses. Occurence of local or systemic reactogenicity will be evaluated, as well as adverse events. The study will include persons with primary or secondary immunosuppressive disorders, as well as immunocompetent persons, with the aim of investigating if the immune responses after given Comirnaty mRNA vaccine against COVID-19.
Detailed Description
In this study with 450 patients with primary or secondary immunosuppressive disorders (patients with primary immunodeficiency, HIV infected patients, patients with allogenic stem cell transplantation/CAR T cell treated, solid organ transplanted, and patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia) from Karolinska University Hospital, and healthy controls of 90 individuals for comparison, we will investigate the safety and the immune responses after mRNA vaccination with Comirnaty after two doses, under 6 months of time for each participant. The study is In collaboration with research groups at Karolinska Institutet and SciLifeLab, with planned in-depth detailed analyses of antibody responses as well as cellular responses. The study has obtained permission from Swedish Medical Agency and Swedish Ethical Review Authority.
