“…Similarly, modest reductions in antibody titres notably with other vaccines, have been seen in fingolimod-treated individuals ( Boulton et al, 2012 , Kappos et al, 2015 , Zoehner et al, 2019 ). However, fingolimod consistently inhibits both seroconversion and peripheral blood T cell responses following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, although there was some variability between studies in part due to the: individuals, viral strain, past infection, vaccine type; time of assay relative to infection/vaccination, different assays and different functional and physical targets ( Wu et al, 2022 , Gombolay et al, 2022 , Tallantyre et al, 2022a , Tallantyre et al, 2022b , Achiron et al, 2021 , Meyer-Arndt et al, 2022 ). Importantly, this had biological impact because in comparison to other MS treatments, use of either fingolimod or CD20-depleting antibodies was sometimes associated with COVID-19 disease breakthrough following vaccination ( Schiavetti et al, 2022 , Garjani et al, 2022 , Bsteh et al, 2022 , Sormani et al, 2022 ).…”
