Abstract
Patients with beta-thalassemia show 5-fold increase in agestandardized lethality due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, representing a high-risk population compared with age- and sex-matched healthy subjects.(1) Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 is crucial to reduce mortality and morbidity of frail patients.(2) Up to now, limited data have been available on the responses of patients with beta-thalassemia immunized with anti-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines.(3)File in questo prodotto:
