AIM: To study COVID-19 vaccination status in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), reasons for incomplete vaccination and the clinical impact of vaccination on patient outcomes.
METHODS: A single-centre retrospective analysis of KTR (n = 543) conducted between 1970 and December 2022. Data included baseline demographics, number of vaccinations, reason for incomplete vaccination and patient outcomes following COVID-19 infection. A completed course of COVID-19 vaccination was defined as four or more vaccine doses.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA: those deceased prior December 2019, managed by another health service, failed graft, or deceased secondary to non-COVID cause.
RESULTS: 273 of 543 patients met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 58.1 ± 12.2 years, 66% were male. 58.2% of patients were fully vaccinated, 22.7% received three doses, 7.7% received two doses, 0.7% received one dose, 0.7% received zero doses, and 10% incomplete records. The most common reasons for incomplete vaccination were COVID-19 infection, concern for side effects, and patient unawareness of booster recommendations. Vaccination uptake was greater in Australian born patients compared with those born overseas, odds ratio 0.40 (95% CI 0.23-0.69). KTR with incomplete vaccination had poorer outcomes, higher rate of AKI, long COVID, and increased hospitalization.
CONCLUSION: The majority of KTR were fully vaccinated. KTR with incomplete vaccination status had poorer outcomes with COVID-19 infection and other issues. Patient education is a major area for improvement targeting patients born overseas and better information regarding side effects. Potential interventions need to address improved communication, cultural relevancy, and language.
