Unwilling or unable to give informed consent- Known allergy to one of the components of the vaccine- Patients with a life expectancy of < 12 months- Of note: although we will investigate serologic evidence of prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 in all participants, seropositivity is not an exclusion criterion. The main reasons for this are first that we expect seroprevalence to be well below 5%, because of the stringent isolation measures that are already in place in this patient population, second, a test-first-strategy for seroprevalence would seriously hamper the speed of vaccination rollout, whereas vaccination of seropositive patients is indicated nonetheless, according to the national vaccination guidelines
