It has been demonstrated that patients on hemo- or peritoneal dialysis are particularly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and impaired seroconversion compared to healthy controls. Follow-up data on vaccination response in dialysis patients is limited but is greatly needed to individualize and guide (booster) vaccination strategies. In this prospective, multicenter study we measured anti-spike S1 and neutralizing antibodies in 124 hemodialysis patients, 41 peritoneal dialysis patients, and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy controls over 12 weeks after homologous BNT162b2 vaccination. Compared to healthy controls, both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients had lower anti-S1 IgG antibodies (median (IQR) 7.0 (2.8-24.3) and 21.8 (5.8-103.9) versus 134.9 (23.8-283.6), respectively; p &lt; 0.001 and p &lt; 0.05) and a reduced SARS-CoV-2 spike protein-ACE2 binding inhibition caused by vaccine-induced antibodies (median (IQR) 56% (40-81) and 77% (52-89) versus 96% (90-98), respectively; p &lt; 0.001 and p &lt; 0.01) three weeks after the second vaccination. Twelve weeks after the second vaccination, the spike protein-ACE2 binding inhibition significantly decreased to a median (IQR) of 45% (31-60) in hemodialysis patients and 55% (36-78) in peritoneal dialysis patients, respectively ( p &lt; 0.001 and p &lt; 0.05). Peritoneal dialysis patients mounted higher antibody levels compared with hemodialysis patients at all time points during the 12-week follow-up. Individual booster vaccinations in high-risk individuals without seroconversion or rapidly waning neutralizing antibody levels are required and further data on the neutralization of emerging variants of concern in these patients are urgently needed.
