Abstract
Objective:
To assess whether the immunogenicity of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines or breakthrough infection rates differ between patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and control subjects.
Research Design and Methods:
A prospective 12-month follow-up of 27 adults with T1D and 89 control subjects who received at least two doses of either the mRNA-1273 or BNT162b2 vaccine. Primary outcomes: total antibodies against the receptor-binding domain and neutralizing antibodies. A multivariate repeated measures model evaluated potential determinants of antibody response.
Results:
Neither antibody levels nor breakthrough infection rates after vaccination differed in T1D and non-T1D groups. Older age predicted lower antibody levels, whereas SARS-CoV-2 infection or booster vaccine resulted in higher antibody levels in both groups. mRNA-1273 was associated with higher antibody levels than BNT162b2 until 6 months after the first dose.
Conclusions:
Persons with and without T1D have similar humoral antibody responses to SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines during 12-months of follow-up.
