P-2062. COVID-19 XBB.1.5-adapted Vaccine Uptake in Immunocompromised Individuals Using Tokenized State Vaccine Registries

Abstract Background Immunocompromised individuals experience a disproportionate burden of COVID-19-associated hospitalization and death. COVID-19 vaccine uptake has declined over time. We evaluated XBB.1.5-adapted vaccine uptake, regardless of brand, during the 2023-2024 season among immunocompromised persons using data from two large state vaccine registries. Methods Individuals with continuous pharmacy and medical enrollment (≥6 months for children < 18 years, ≥12 months for adults ≥18 years) in insurance plans contributing to HealthVerity and residency in either California or Louisiana as of September 11, 2023 (the date XBB.1.5-adapted vaccines were authorized or approved) were selected. A prior dose of any COVID-19 vaccine was required. Persons were defined as immunocompromised if they had one or more of the following conditions as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: HIV/AIDS, hematologic malignancy, solid organ or bone marrow transplant, primary immunodeficiency, or recent use of immunosuppressive medications. XBB.1.5-adapted vaccine uptake was assessed using de-identified records from state vaccine registries in California and Louisiana that were linked via tokenization with claims data. Results A total of 321,896 California residents (median age 55 years; 57% female) and 43,250 Louisiana residents (median age 45 years; 64% female) with at least one immunocompromising condition were identified. In both states, the most common immunocompromising condition was use of immunosuppressive medications (78% California and 85% Louisiana). By the end of March 2024, 19% and 6% of immunocompromised individuals in California and Louisiana, respectively, received an XBB.1.5-adapted vaccine. Uptake was generally similar regardless of immunocompromising condition (Table 1). Conclusion During the 2023-2024 season, COVID-19 vaccine uptake in immunocompromised persons was low, with fewer than 20% of this high-risk population receiving the XBB.1.5-adapted vaccine. Enhanced efforts to increase COVID-19 vaccine uptake in this vulnerable population are urgently needed. Disclosures Matthew A.
