Waning neutralizing antibodies through 180 days after homologous and heterologous boosters of inactivated COVID-19 vaccine.

ABSTRACT: To enhance the personal immunity to COVID-19, a third booster dose of inactivated COVID-19 vaccines program campaign was implemented in China. Our study endeavored to compare the dynamics of neutralizing antibodies generated by four distinct booster vaccines against three kinds of live SARS-CoV-2 virus (wild-type, Delta AY.23, and Omicron BA5.2). This cohort study involved 320 healthy individuals, who were randomly assigned to four groups, to receive boosters with inactivated vaccine (COVac and BIBP), the adenovirus type-5-vectored vaccine (Convidecia), and the recombinant protein-based vaccine (Zifivax), respectively, all the vaccines studied had the Wuhan variant as their parental variant. Participants were recruited from December 2021 to June 2022, with a follow-up period of 180 days. W
