Our data reveal an increase of cellular and humoral immune response in CLL patients after fourth COVID-19 vaccination combined with SARS-CoV-2 infection, even in those undergoing B cell-depleting treatment. Patients with prior vaccination failure now show a specific IgG response. Future research should explore the duration and effectiveness of hybrid immunity considering various factors like past infection and vaccination rates, types and numbers of doses, and emerging variants.
