CoronaVac and BNT162b2 in pediatric kidney patients 2 SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Little is known about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in children and adolescents with kidney diseases. This paper describes the antibody and T cell responses of 3 doses of CoronaVac or BNT162b2, the top 2 COVID-19 vaccines distributed worldwide, by an accelerated regimen in patients with kidney diseases aged 1-18 years. Antibody and T cell responses were significantly elicited by either vaccine. Neutralization was reduced against Omicron while T cell response was preserved, which likely confer protection against severe COVID-19. Rate of severe adverse reactions was low in the study. Results confirm that accelerated 3-dose primary series with CoronaVac and BNT162b2 is safe and immunogenic in young children and adolescents with kidney diseases.
