Introduction: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have immunotoxic effects in children while studies in adults, including recent studies on the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine response have been less consistent. In a cohort of 50-69-year-olds repeatedly vaccinated against COVID-19 in Denmark from early 2021, we aimed to assess the association between serum-PFAS concentrations and SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses.
