Immunogenicity to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant among school-aged children with 2-dose of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines followed by BNT162b2 booster.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A primary series of 2-dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccines based on an ancestral strain generate inadequate neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant. This study aimed to describe the immune response from giving healthy school-aged children who previously received 2 inactivated vaccines an mRNA BNT162b2 booster.

Methods

Healthy children aged 5-11 years who received 2 doses of CoronaVac or Covilo were enrolled and received 10 µg BNT162b2 intramuscularly. Neutralizing antibody against Omicron variant was measured at pre-booster and 14-21 days post-booster by surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT, %inhibition) and pseudovirus neutralization test (pVNT, ID₅₀). Antibody responses were compared with a parallel cohort of children who received 2 doses of BNT162b2 3 weeks apart.

Results

From April to May 2022, 59 children with a mean age (SD) of 8.5 years (1.7) were enrolled: 20 CoronaVac and 39 Covilo recipients. The median interval from the primary series was 49 days (IQR 33-51). After booster, the geometric means (GMs) of sVNT and pVNT were 72.2 %inhibition (95 %CI 67.2-77.6) and 499 (95 %CI 399-624), respectively. The proportion of children with sVNT against Omicron strain ≥68 %inhibition increased from none to 70.2 %. The geometric mean ratio (GMR) of sVNT and pVNT compared with a parallel cohort were 4.3 and 12.2, respectively. The GMR of sVNT and pVNT between children who received booster dose at >6-week interval were 1.2 (95 %CI 1.1-1.3). and 1.8 (95 %CI 1.2-2.7) compared with 4-6 weeks interval.

Conclusion

A regimen of 2-dose of inactivated vaccine followed by BNT162b2 booster dose elicited high neutralizing antibody against the Omicron variants in healthy school-aged children.

Project description:The effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines wanes over time and the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant led to the accelerated expansion of efforts for booster vaccination. However, the effect and contribution of booster vaccination with inactivated COVID-19 vaccines remain to be evaluated. We conducted a retrospective close contacts cohort study to analyze the epidemiological characteristics and Omicron infection risk, and to evaluate the effectiveness of booster vaccination with inactivated COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection, symptomatic COVID-19, and COVID-19 pneumonia during the outbreaks of Omicron BA.2 infection from 1 February to 31 July 2022 in Guangdong, China. A total of 46,547 close contacts were identified while 6.3% contracted Omicron BA.2 infection, 1.8% were asymptomatic infection, 4.1% developed mild COVID-19, and 0.3% had COVID-19 pneumonia. We found that females and individuals aged 0-17 or ≥ 60 years old were more prone to SARS-CoV-2 infection. The vaccinated individuals showed lower infection risk when compared with the unvaccinated people. The effectiveness of booster vaccination with inactivated COVID-19 vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 infection and symptomatic COVID-19 was 28.6% (95% CI: 11.6%, 35.0%) and 39.6% (95% CI: 30.0, 47.9) among adults aged ≥ 18 years old, respectively when compared with full vaccination. Booster vaccination provided a moderate level of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection (VE: 49.9%, 95% CI: 22.3%-67.7%) and symptomatic COVID-19 (VE: 62.6%, 95% CI: 36.2%-78.0%) among adults aged ≥ 60 years old. Moreover, the effectiveness of booster vaccination was 52.2% (95% CI: 21.3%, 70.9%) and 83.8% (95% CI: 28.1%, 96.3%) against COVID-19 pneumonia in adults aged ≥ 18 and ≥ 60 years old, respectively. The reduction of absolute risk rate of COVID-19 pneumonia in the booster vaccination group was 0·96% (95% CI: 0.33%, 1.11%), and the number needed to vaccinate to prevent one case of COVID-19 pneumonia was 104 (95% CI: 91, 303) in adults aged ≥ 60 years old. In summary, booster vaccination with inactivated COVID-19 vaccines provides a low level of protection against infection and symptomatic in adults of 18-59 years old, and a moderate level of protection in older adults of more than 60 years old, but a high level of protection against COVID-19 pneumonia in older adults.
