Brief Summary:
This study aims to employ a simple finger-prick home test to detect post vaccination antibody levels. The investigators will compare antibody responses in patients with severe asthma on varying treatment regimes (biologics, daily steroids, inhalers-only) with healthy, age-matched controls to study if the magnitude and range of responses vary between severe asthmatics and healthy individuals.
Detailed Description:
SARS-CoV-2 and the resulting COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on quality of life in people with severe asthma. Careful isolation and lockdown measures have protected many patients, but with major impacts on wellbeing and mental health. Vaccination opens a "light at the end of the tunnel" by protecting against COVID-19. However, the following questions remain unanswered for Covid vaccination in severe asthma: 1) What are patients' expectations/attitudes towards vaccination? 2) Will vaccines induce good immune responses which protect from Covid-19 infections? The first question is being addressed by a survey created SHARP, a European Clinical Research Collaboration on severe asthma- people with asthma from the UK and Europe will be invited to complete the survey. To complement this, the investigators propose a UK pilot study (carried out in up to four severe asthma centres) to measure immune responses following vaccination in 200 people with severe asthma. The investigators will invite 120 people receiving asthma biologics (monoclonal antibodies), 40 people receiving asthma inhalers, 40 people needing daily steroid tablets to control their asthma, and 50 age-matched healthy people. Immune responses will be studied using a simple home blood antibody test posted to participants. By pricking their finger, patients will collect 5-6 drops of blood in a small test tube and will post back on the same day to a laboratory in London. Tests will be done twice: after the first and second vaccine doses.
The study will help us understand if the body's immune response to the COVID-19 vaccine is different in people with severe asthma who are on different treatments to manage their symptoms.
