Previous reports revealed that seroconversion rate was about 50% in solid organ transplant recipients even after a third dose.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0025">5</a> Thus, establishment of long-term immune response in immune-deficient population could be helpful in significant reduction in COVID-19 mortality rate in these vulnerable subjects. Till now, there is doubt about effectiveness of a fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose for immune-compromised patients.In recent, Kamar et al., investigated the effectiveness of a fourth dose of Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for recipients of a solid organ transplant in France, they found that a fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dosage was elicit a slight upgraded humoral response in participants with a weak response after 3 doses but not in patients with no response after 3 doses.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0030">6</a> Alejo et al. was showed that a fourth doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine could result increasing immune response in 50% of patients with negative as well as all solid organ transplant recipients with low-positive titers after 3 doses of the Pfizer or Moderna.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0035">7</a> In addition, Benotmane et al., recently revealed the high portion (up to 80%) of kidney transplant recipients have a weak immune response after three doses. Meanwhile, a fourth dose of the Moderna vaccine cause to significant increase of neutralizing antibodies response against the delta variant.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0040">8</a> Indeed, the evaluation of available documents exhibited that a four doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine appear to be increased both humoral and cellular-based immunity response event in immune-compromised patients with no response after 3 doses. The results of Abbasi et al. was confirmed the results of previous reports on the efficacy of a fourth SARS-CoV-2 mRNA-vaccine in promotion of immune-response in kidney transplant recipients who have a weak response after 3 doses.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bb0045">9</a>In summary, our report indicated the effectiveness of a fourth SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose in immune-compromised individuals with a weak antibody response after three doses. In addition, the fourth booster vaccine was well tolerated. However, there is no knowledge regarding durability of antibody levels. On the other hand, seroconversion rate was varied among vulnerable subject with no response after three vaccine dosage. The implementation of hand hygiene, face masking, physical distancing, as well as administration of monoclonal antibodies could be efficient prophylaxis in immune-deficient patients with no response to three doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.Conflict of interestNone to declare."

Official journal of the Asociación Española de Vacunología (AEV) Vacunas is a peer-reviewed journal supported by an advisory board of experts in the field of vaccinology. The aim of the journal is to contribute to the dissemination of the scientific advances made in the area of basic and applied research in the field of vaccine-preventable diseases in humans. It places special emphasis on aspects associated with planning and evaluation (epidemiology of vaccine-preventable diseases, development of vaccination programs, evaluation of the efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of vaccinations). Vacunas publishes, in Spanish and in English, Editorials, Original Articles, Special Articles, Reviews, Strategies and Vaccination Programs. There are also sections on Literature Reviews, News and on Congresses associated with vaccinations. The peer review process is done anonymously by reviewers with expertise in the area of knowledge of each manuscript as well as experts in methodology or statistics, as determined by the Editorial board, which works towards maintaining an efficient editorial process in order for the manuscripts to be published as soon as possible.
