BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The safety and immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine in older adults with different frailty and disability profiles have not been well determined. Our objective was to analyze immunogenicity of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in older adults across frailty and disability profiles. DESIGN: Multicenter longitudinal cohort study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: A total of 134 residents aged ≥65 years with different frailty and disability profiles in five long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in Albacete, Spain. INTERVENTION AND MEASUREMENTS: Residents were administered two vaccine doses as per the label, and antibody levels were determined 21.9 days (SD 9.3) after both the first and second dose. Functional variables were assessed using activities of daily living (Barthel Index), and frailty status was determined with the FRAIL instrument. Cognitive status and comorbidity were also evaluated. RESULTS: Mean age was 82.9 years (range 65-99), and 71.6% were female. The mean antibody titers in residents with and without previous COVID-19 infection were 49,878 AU/ml and 15,274 AU/ml, respectively (mean difference 34,604; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 27,699-41,509). No severe adverse reactions were observed, after either vaccine dose. Those with prevaccination COVID-19 had an increased antibody level after the vaccine (B = 31,337; 95% CI: 22,725-39,950; p < 0.001). Frailty, disability, older age, sex, cognitive impairment, or comorbidities were not associated with different antibody titers. CONCLUSIONS: The BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in older adults is safe and produces immunogenicity, independently of the frailty and disability profiles. Older adults in LTCFs should receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
背景/目的:BNT162b2 冠状病毒病 2019(COVID-19)疫苗在不同虚弱和残疾特征的老年人中的安全性和免疫原性尚未得到很好的确定。我们的目的是分析 BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗在不同虚弱和残疾特征的老年人中的免疫原性。
设计:多中心纵向队列研究。
地点和参与者:来自西班牙阿尔瓦塞特的五家长期护理机构(LTCF)的 134 名年龄≥65 岁的不同虚弱和残疾特征的居民。
干预措施和测量:居民按照标签接受两剂疫苗,并在第一剂和第二剂后 21.9 天(SD 9.3)测定抗体水平。使用日常生活活动(巴氏量表)评估功能变量,并使用 FRAIL 工具确定虚弱状态。还评估了认知状态和合并症。
结果:平均年龄为 82.9 岁(范围 65-99),71.6%为女性。有和没有既往 COVID-19 感染的居民的平均抗体滴度分别为 49878 AU/ml 和 15274 AU/ml(平均差异 34604;95%置信区间[CI]:27699-41509)。两种疫苗接种后均未观察到严重不良反应。疫苗接种前有 COVID-19 感染的患者在接种疫苗后抗体水平升高(B=31337;95%CI:22725-39950;p<0.001)。虚弱、残疾、年龄较大、性别、认知障碍或合并症与不同的抗体滴度无关。
结论:BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 疫苗在老年人中是安全的,并产生免疫原性,与虚弱和残疾特征无关。长期护理机构的老年人应接种 COVID-19 疫苗。
