Study on Humoral Immune Response to Covaxin Vaccine in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients on Hemodialysis

The text discusses a study conducted to analyze the humoral immune response to the Covaxin SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in chronic kidney disease patients on maintenance hemodialysis in South India. The study found that 75.7% of patients achieved seroconversion after two doses of the vaccine, with factors such as age, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease correlating with lower seroconversion rates. The study acknowledged limitations in assessing real-world vaccine protection and recommended further research on antibody and T-cell-mediated immunity in this high-risk population.
