Abstract |
Objectives |
Impact of frailty towards immunogenicity and reactogenicity of BNT162b2 boosters administered via intramuscular or intradermal routes in a Thai geriatric population
Design |
Prospective, randomized, open-labeled.
Setting |
Siriraj Hospital, Thailand.
Participants |
Geriatric adults aged ≥65 years.
Intervention |
10 μg intradermal or 30 μg intramuscular BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech).
Measurements |
Anti-SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain IgG, neutralizing antibodies (NAb), and interferon-gamma producing cells against Wuhan and Omicron BA.4/5. Analyses were stratified based on participants’ Clinical Frailty Scale.
Results |
A total of 139 participants were included in the analysis. Two-four weeks post-booster administration, NAb titers against Wuhan but not Omicron BA.4/5 were significantly lower among frail participants than non-frail participants who received intramuscular administration. Spike-specific T cell responses were similar for frail and non-frail participants, regardless of administration route. Frail participants who received intradermal BNT162b2 had fewer local adverse events (AEs), but higher systemic AEs than non-frail participants.
Conclusion |
Similar immune responses across vaccine routes warrants further evaluation of intradermal BNT162b2 in frail geriatric populations. Frail participants may be more sensitive to reporting systemic AEs.
Registration of clinical trials |
The parent study was registered under the Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20220112002).
