“…As for the booster shot, the VE was highest in the 35–59 years group (96.3%), as compared with the 60–79 years (90.3%) or the >80 years (77.8%) group. 42 Our own data are not directly comparable with Liu et al , but they indicate a somewhat lower VE in the 65–100 years group as compared with the cohort aged 45–64 years. The efficacy of boosters was similar, yet minimally lower in the elder cohort.…”

IntroductionType 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for severe COVID-19 infection and is associated with increased risk of complications. The present study aimed to investigate effectiveness and persistence of different COVID vaccines in persons with or without diabetes during the Delta wave in Hungary.Research design and methodsData sources were the national COVID-19 registry data from the National Public Health Center and the National Health Insurance Fund on the total Hungarian population. The adjusted incidence rate ratios and corresponding 95% CIs were derived from a mixed-effect negative binomial regression model.ResultsA population of 672 240 cases with type 2 diabetes and a control group of 2 974 102 non-diabetic persons free from chronic diseases participated. Unvaccinated elderly persons with diabetes had 2.68 (95% CI 2.47 to 2.91) times higher COVID-19-related mortality rate as the ‘healthy’ controls. Primary immunization effectively equalized the risk of COVID-19 mortality between the two groups. Vaccine effectiveness declined over time, but the booster restored the effectiveness against mortality to over 90%. The adjusted vaccine effectiveness of the primary Pfizer-BioNTech against infection in the 14–120 days of postvaccination period was 71.6 (95% CI 66.3 to 76.1)% in patients aged 65–100 years with type 2 diabetes and 64.52 (95% CI 59.2 to 69.2)% in the controls. Overall, the effectiveness tended to be higher in individuals with diabetes than in controls. The booster vaccines could restore vaccine effectiveness to over 80% concerning risk of infection (eg, patients with diabetes aged 65–100 years: 89.1 (88.1–89.9)% with Pfizer-on-Pfizer, controls 65–100 years old: 86.9 (85.8–88.0)% with Pfizer-on-Pfizer, or patients with diabetes aged 65–100 years: 88.3 (87.2–89.2)% with Pfizer-on-Sinopharm, controls 65–100 years old: 87.8 (86.8–88.7)% with Pfizer-on-Sinopharm).ConclusionsOur data suggest that people with type 2 diabetes may have even higher health gain when getting vaccinated as compared with non-diabetic persons, eliminating the marked, COVID-19-related excess risk of this population. Boosters could restore protection.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccination is crucial for protecting vulnerable individuals, yet individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) often exhibit impaired vaccine responses. Emerging evidence suggests that the composition of the host microbiota, crucial in immune regulation and development, influences vaccine efficacy. This study aimed to characterize the relationships between the SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine and the host microbiota (specifically, gut and lung microbiota) of C57BL/6 mice with T2DM. Employing 16S rRNA metagenomic sequencing and ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we observed lower alpha diversity and distinct beta diversity in fecal microbiota before vaccination and in gut microbiota 28 days post-vaccination between T2DM mice and healthy mice. Compared with healthy mice, T2DM mice showed a higher Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio 28 days post-vaccination. Significant alterations in gut microbiota composition were detected following vaccination, while lung microbiota remained unchanged. T2DM was associated with a diminished initial IgG antibody response against the spike protein, which subsequently normalized after 28 days. Notably, the initial IgG response positively correlated with fecal microbiota alpha diversity pre-vaccination. Furthermore, after 28 days, increased relative abundance of gut probiotics ( Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus ) and higher levels of the gut bacterial tryptophan metabolite, indole acrylic acid, were positively associated with IgG levels. These findings suggest a potential link between vaccine efficacy and gut microbiota composition. Nonetheless, further research is warranted to elucidate the precise mechanisms underlying the impact of the gut microbiome on vaccine response. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the intricate relationships among host microbiota, SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, and T2DM, with potential implications for improving vaccine efficacy. IMPORTANCE Over 7 million deaths attributed to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) by 6 May 2024 underscore the urgent need for effective vaccination strategies. However, individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have been identified as particularly vulnerable and display compromised immune responses to vaccines. Concurrently, increasing evidence suggests that the composition and diversity of gut microbiota, crucial regulators of immune function, may influence the efficacy of vaccines. Against this backdrop, our study explores the complex interplay among SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccination, T2DM, and host microbiota. We discover that T2DM compromises the initial immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine, and this response is positively correlated with specific features of the gut microbiota, such as alpha diversity. We also demonstrate that the vaccination itself induces alterations in the composition and structure of the gut microbiota. These findings illuminate potential links between the gut microbiota and vaccine efficacy in individuals with T2DM, offering valuable insights that could enhance vaccine responses in this high-risk population.
