Figure 1.
Figure 1.
Time interval between the first vaccine injection and the last (if prior to vaccination) or first (if afer vaccination) anti-CD20 administration. Time is represented by vertical bars and the color code represents patients’ serological status. Patients who had their last anti-CD20 administration before their first vaccine injection are represented at the left hand side of the vertical dotted line. Patients who had their last anti-CD20 administration after their first vaccine injection are represented at the right hand side of the vertical dotted line. The color code of the vertical bars represents patients’ serological status. The total number of vaccine doses received prior to serology is represented by colored points (2 doses or 3 doses).

Figure 2.
Anti-spike titers with respect to anti-CD20 treatment and the number of vaccine injections. The natural logarithm of the anti-spike titer is represented with respect to anti-CD20 treatment status. Red: patients without a history of anti-CD20 treatment or patients who had their last administration more than 1 year prior to the first vaccine injection; green: patients who had their last anti-CD20 administration within 1 year prior to the first vaccine injection; and (blue) patients who had their first vaccine injection prior to their first anti-CD20 administration.
