Abstract

MWCCS participants are a high-risk group for severe COVID-19 disease in terms of being HIV-infected, predominately of elderly age, and having numerous underlying comorbidities. Therefore, it is imperative for their health that they be vaccinated with the new COVID-19 vaccines. To date, however, there are only anecdotal data on COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and efficacy in people with HIV (PWH). The MWCCS is ideal for analyzing (a) the acceptancy and effects of COVID-19 vaccine(s) in male and female PWH and matched HIV-uninfected controls (HUC), (b) the impact of age and co-morbidities on vaccine immune response and protection against COVID-19, and (c) the social, economic, and behavioral changes after COVID-19 immunization as compared to the individuals who opted to not take the vaccine.
