Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: A consecutive series of hemodialysis patients which received 2 doses of a mRNA vaccine against Covid-19 and are willing to participate to the trial. Patients are eligible for inclusion 6 months after receiving the first dose. A target of around 800 patients is envisioned. Participants will be recruited in 5 participating centers (AZ Sint-Jan, AZ Damiaan, ZOL, OLV Aalst and AZ Groeninghe). Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 400 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 400
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: i. Younger than 18 years old ii. No informed consent iii. No previous vaccination with two mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, according to the scheme mentioned in the SmPC. iv. Individuals who are suffering from acute severe febrile illness or acute infection. People with a minor infection and/or low-grade fever should not be excluded. (This exclusion criteria is based on the SmPC of Comirnaty and COVID-19 vaccine Moderna, however, vaccination will be performed according to standard medical practice and at the discretion of the treating physician). v. Subjects with a history of severe adverse reactions associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction to any component of the study intervention (This exclusion criteria is based on the SmPC of COVID-19 vaccine Moderna, however, vaccination will be performed according to standard medical practice and at the discretion of the treating physician). vi.

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The study aims to determine the rate of breakthrough infections in a population of hemodialysis patients which will receive a third vaccination against Covid-19 with the mRNA-1273 Covid-19 vaccine 6 months after the first vaccine and compare this with a control population. To this end, the figures of the ‘Nederlandstalige Belgische Vereniging voor Nefrologie’ (NBVN) registration will be used, which monitors the Covid-19 infections of all hemodialysis patients in the Flemish region.;Secondary Objective: Analysis of side effects and predictive factors for breakthrough infections;Primary end point(s): Incidence rate and severity of breakthrough infections;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From day of vaccination until 24 weeks after. | — |
