A few weeks ago, vaccinations against the SARS-CoV-2 virus began in Germany. As announced in our February virtual group meeting, the Ulm University Hospital, as one of the most important AA\/PNH centres in Germany, has now published a recommendation letter (German)<\/a> on this topic. If you need assistance with details contained in the recommendation letter please email us at info(at)aa-pnh.org or give us a call: +49 30 549094080. <\/p>\n

We briefly summarise the most important contents for you below:<\/p>\n

The Ulm University Hospital’s vaccination advice letter for AA\/PNH patients is based on the current recommendations of the Ständige Impfkommission (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute, previous studies on the approved vaccines, and the Ulm AA\/PNH Centre’s experience with COVID-19 vaccinations.<\/p>\n

I. For PNH patients receiving eculizumab\/ravulizumab therapy, the COVID-19 vaccination does not represent an increased risk compared to other vaccinations and is therefore recommended. The first vaccination should be given as close after eculizumab\/ravulizumab administration as possible. After the vaccination, some blood values (haemolysis<\/a> parameters and antibody<\/a> titres) should be checked in order to allow swift reaction in the event of a haemolytic crisis<\/a> and to check the success of the vaccination.<\/p>\n

II. For PNH patients without eculizumab\/ravulizumab therapy, recommendations from the Ulm University Hospital are still being developed.<\/p>\n

III. For AA patients, COVID-19 vaccination carries a lower risk than COVID-19 infection – however, an individual risk assessment (current therapy, immune status, etc.) must be carried out before vaccination. Vaccination is also recommended for patients on ciclosporin<\/a> therapy.<\/p>\n

Vaccination is also recommended for patients on ciclosporin<\/a> therapy. Based on previous surveys on COVID-19 mortality<\/a>, the STIKO sees the greatest risk for people of advanced age. Accordingly, only this group has been vaccinated with the highest priority so far (CoronaImpfV §3). <\/p>\n
