Evaluation of antibody responses in healthy individuals receiving SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccines.

ABSTRACT: Inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines such as CoronaVac and BBIBP-CorV have been widely used in China. However, more investigation is still needed to understand antibodies' duration and effectiveness against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants in the real world. In this study, 575 participants who had been vaccinated with two or three doses of the inactivated vaccine were recruited. Serum samples were collected and tested for anti-spike IgG and neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 (original strain, Dela, and Omicron). Unsurprisingly, a third dose of the vaccine significantly enhanced antibody responses against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. However, despite a booster dose, the neutralizing antibody levels against Omicron, particularl
