Background: As new, potentially deadly strains of SARS-CoV-2 arise, it is more important than ever to ensure that as many people as possible are immunized against the virus. In Iraq the three WHO approved vaccines (Pfizer, Sinopharm and AstraZeneca) have been applied. There are limited studies on the Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) molecules display astonishing diversity, which is
essential for broadening antigen presentation to T lymphocytes. This study aimed to evaluates the expression of non-classical HLA-G, HLA-H and HLA-F in the vaccinated and infected Iraqi populations.
