Vaccinated persons have a lower incidence of infection and severe disease when infected compared to non-vaccinated persons. Therefore, their behavior may change and their social participation may increase after a complete vaccination. The aim of this study was to explore social participation of immunocompromised persons before and after complete COVID-19 vaccination. Between March and September 2021, 274 immunocompromised participants were recruited. Survey data were collected at baseline and follow-up from 194 participants including the Index for the Assessment of Health Impairments [IMET], Patient Health Questionnaire-4 [PHQ-4], subjective health status and quality of life. At baseline, participants were not yet completely vaccinated. Complete vaccination was achieved prior to the follow-up questionnaire. IMET scores decreased significantly at follow-up, indicating a higher social participation after complete vaccination. PHQ-4, subjective health status and quality of life did not differ between baseline and follow-up. There were no significant differences across sociodemographic factors. Significant PHQ-4 differences were observed regarding the population size of the participants' home community. Social participation of immunocompromised persons in our study increased after COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, social participation should be explored further, especially with regards to the impact of vaccination on groups with a high health risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.877623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,10]],"date-time":"2022-06-10T05:11:02Z","timestamp":1654837862000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Impact of COVID-19 Vaccination on the Social Participation of Immunocompromised Persons \u2013 Results of a Multicenter Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Gloria","family":"Heesen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dominik","family":"Schr\u00f6der","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Hummers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Klawonn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marie","family":"Mikuteit","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Niewolik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sandra","family":"Steffens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anne","family":"Cossmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Georg","family":"Behrens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Dopfer-Jablonka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Heinemann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9695","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-020-09695-1","article-title":"Chinese public's knowledge, perceived severity, and perceived controllability of COVID-19 and their associations with emotional and behavioural reactions, social participation, and precautionary behaviour: a national survey","volume":"20","author":"Li","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMC Public Health."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2150132721996898","DOI":"10.1177\/2150132721996898","article-title":"Increased COVID-19-related fear and subjective risk perception regarding COVID-19 affects behavior in individuals with internal high-risk diseases","volume":"12","author":"Kohler","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Prim Care Community Health."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"5768","DOI":"10.1002\/jmv.27105","article-title":"Prior immunosuppressive therapy is associated with mortality in COVID-19 patients: A retrospective study of 835 patients","volume":"93","author":"Akama-Garren","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Med Virol."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"211","DOI":"10.1177\/0269215513499029","article-title":"Participation and social participation: are they distinct concepts?","volume":"28","author":"Pi\u0161kur","year":"2014","journal-title":"Clin Rehabil."},{"key":"B5","volume-title":"International classification of functioning, disability and health ICF","year":"2001"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"100424","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ssmph.2019.100424","article-title":"Social participation patterns and their associations with health and well-being for older adults","volume":"8","author":"Dawson-Townsend","year":"2019","journal-title":"SSM Popul Health."},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"241","DOI":"10.1590\/0034-7167-2018-0020","article-title":"Social participation and personal autonomy of individuals with spinal cord injury","volume":"72","author":"Andrade VS","year":"2019","journal-title":"Rev Bras Enferm."},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"402","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1559670","article-title":"Einschr\u00e4nkungen der Teilhabe in der Bev\u00f6lkerung -
