It is well established that many patients on immunosuppression have an attenuated humoral response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination. 1, 2 Indeed, people with immune dysregulation have a higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough infection despite vaccination than do immunocompetent people. 3 As understanding of the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response among immunosuppressed populations evolves, a hierarchy among agents is emerging, with recipients of lymphocytedepleting therapies, such as rituximab and mycophenolate mofetil, at greatest risk of a reduced immune response. 1, 2A study in The Lancet Rheumatology by Luuk Wieske and colleagues adds to existing evidence that humoral responses after standard vaccination (defined as two-dose ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 [Oxford–AstraZeneca], BNT162b2 [Pfizer–BioNtech], CX-024414 [Moderna], or single-dose Ad. 26. COV2. S [Janssen]) are suboptimal among patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases treated with anti-CD20 therapy, sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor (S1P) modulator, or mycophenolate mofetil combination therapies. 4 Similar rates of seroconversion were observed among patients treated with other immunosuppressants, although antibody titres were moderately reduced compared with controls. Given findings of a preserved recall response in these patients, the authors conclude that reduced antibody titres are unlikely to translate to loss of short-term protection. However, we believe that this conclusion might be premature in the absence of clinical outcome data, and more importantly, studies have demonstrated the correlation between antibody titres and breakthrough infections. 5 Moreover, recent data have highlighted that significantly higher antibody concentrations are required to overcome immune evasion induced by variants of concern, 6 further
