The heightened risk of infection and complexities of preventing disease in immunocompromised individuals are at the forefront of public health strategies. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the increased vulnerability and susceptibility to serious outcomes in this population. COVID-19 prevention efforts led to the development of vaccines, including mRNA-based options, which were initially recommended as a 2-dose primary schedule for both immunocompromised and immunocompetent individuals. However, post-rollout assessments led to updated recommendations specific to immunocompromised populations. As COVID-19 potentially transitions to become endemic disease, immunocompromised individuals will remain at high risk of severe disease; thus, the evaluation of current vaccination challenges remains crucial for guiding effective public health efforts. This article summarizes key findings from the previous articles of this supplement, highlighting current vaccination challenges for at-risk immunocompromised groups and exploring solutions to ensure protection against COVID-19 for these vulnerable populations.
