The US FDA has recently authorized immunocompromised people to receive a third dose of mRNA Covid-19 vaccine following the two-doses regimen to further boost protection. Unfortunately, a non-negligible proportion of people treated with immunosuppressive drugs either do not respond or show only a weak response after a third boost and should, therefore, still be considered at risk of severe Covid-19. As of June 2021, we were granted the opportunity to offer a fourth vaccine dose to French solid organ transplant recipients who still showed a weak antibody response after the third dose. In this multicenter study, we demonstrate that that the protection conferred by a fourth dose is adequate for the majority of kidney transplant recipients

AbstractThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of vitamin B12(B12) deficiency in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) and its possible association with B12dietary intake, body adiposity and immunosuppressive drugs. In this cross-sectional study, we included 225 KTR, aged 47·50 (sd12·11) years, and 125 (56 %) were men. Serum levels of B12were determined by chemiluminescent microparticle intrinsic factor assay and the cut-off of 200 pg/ml was used to stratify KTR into B12-sufficient or B12-deficient group. B12dietary intake was evaluated by three 24 h dietary recalls and was considered adequate when ≥2·4 μg/d. Body adiposity was estimated after taking anthropometric measures and using the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method. B12deficiency was seen in 14 % of the individuals. B12-deficient group, compared with the B12-sufficient group, exhibited lower intake of B12(median 2·42 (interquartile range (IQR) 1·41–3·23)v. 3·16 (IQR 1·94–4·55) μg/d,P= 0·04) and higher values of waist circumference (median 96·0 (IQR 88·0–102·5)v. 90·0 (IQR 82·0–100·0) cm,P= 0·04). When the analysis included only women, B12deficiency was associated with higher total and central body adiposity measurements obtained with anthropometry (BMI, body adiposity index, waist and neck circumferences) and DXA (total and trunk body fat). Among individuals with adequate intake of B12, the deficiency of this vitamin was more frequently seen in those using mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) (17 %)v. azathioprine (2 %),P= 0·01. In conclusion, the prevalence of B12deficiency in KTR was estimated as 14 % and was associated with reduced intake of B12as well as higher adiposity, especially in women, and with the use of MMF.
