Efficacy and safety of COVID-19 vaccines in older people

Roy L. Soiza et al.

Summary: The safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines in older people are crucial for their success, but there is currently a lack of data. While some Phase III trials have made efforts to recruit older people, those with co-morbidities and frailty have still been largely excluded. Older people, their carers, and healthcare professionals will need to make decisions on vaccination acceptance based on limited evidence.

Single-dose administration and the influence of the timing of the booster dose on immunogenicity and efficacy of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 (AZD1222) vaccine: a pooled analysis of four randomised trials

Merryn Voysey et al.

Summary: The AZD1222 vaccine has been approved for emergency use in the UK with an interval of 4-12 weeks between doses. Analysis shows that the vaccine is efficacious with two doses and provides immunoprotection after the first dose before the second dose is administered.

Estimated transmissibility and impact of SARS-CoV-2 lineage B.1.1.7 in England

Nicholas G. Davies et al.

Summary: A new variant of SARS-CoV-2 has emerged in England, with a higher reproduction number and potential for large resurgences of COVID-19 cases. Without stringent control measures, it is projected that COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths in England for the first 6 months of 2021 will exceed those in 2020. The variant has spread globally and exhibited similar transmission increases in Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States.

Antibody responses to the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2

Joseph E. Ebinger et al.

Summary: Virus-specific antibody levels after a single dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine in individuals previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 are similar to levels after two doses of the vaccine in infection-naive individuals. Post-vaccine symptoms were more prominent for those with prior infection after the first dose, but symptomology was similar between groups after the second dose.

mRNA vaccination boosts cross-variant neutralizing antibodies elicited by SARS-CoV-2 infection

Leonidas Stamatatos et al.

Summary: The study found that vaccination of both previously infected individuals and those who were not infected resulted in increased neutralizing antibody titers, with previously infected individuals showing a greater boost in neutralizing titers. Vaccination of naive individuals also elicited cross-neutralizing responses, but at lower titers.

Prior SARS-CoV-2 infection rescues B and T cell responses to variants after first vaccine dose

Catherine J. Reynolds et al.

Summary: Vaccination with a single dose of BNT162b2 after prior infection with a heterologous variant substantially enhances neutralizing antibody responses against variants. In contrast, individuals without prior infection showed reduced immunity against variants after receiving a single vaccine dose.

Prolonged humoral and cellular immunity in COVID-19-recovered patients

May A. Alsayb et al.

Summary: The study explored the adaptive immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in recovered COVID-19 patients, finding significantly increased levels of CD4' T cells in those with mild and moderate symptoms. Anti-S IgG antibody production against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was observed in all recovered patients regardless of clinical presentation, with detectable levels up to 90 days post-infection. Further analysis is needed to understand the relationship between different clinical presentations and lymphocyte activation and function.

Humoral immune responses in hospitalized COVID-19 patients

Waleed H. Mahallawi

Summary: The study investigated the antibody responses to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Saudi Arabia. Severe patients showed significantly higher levels of IgG and IgM antibodies compared to non-severe patients, with males showing higher positivity rates than females. These findings provide insights into the humoral immune responses in COVID-19 patients with varying disease severity.

Distinct antibody and memory B cell responses in SARS-CoV-2 naive and recovered individuals after mRNA vaccination

Rishi R. Goel et al.

Summary: mRNA vaccines exhibit robust serological and cellular priming, with naïve individuals requiring two doses for optimal antibody responses, especially against the B.1.351 variant. Memory B cells specific for spike protein and RBD were efficiently primed by vaccination, while recovered individuals showed significant boosting after the first dose, correlating with preexisting memory B cell levels. Identifying distinct responses based on prior SARS-CoV-2 exposure suggests that recovered subjects may only need one vaccine dose for peak responses, which can inform vaccine distribution strategies in resource-limited settings.

Primary, Recall, and Decay Kinetics of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Antibody Responses

F. Javier Ibarrondo et al.

Summary: Studies on two SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines have shown that they provide about 95% protection from symptomatic infection in the short term, but questions remain about the comparison and stability of vaccine-induced antibody levels to natural infection. Antibody levels decline similarly after vaccination and natural infection, indicating potential need for booster shots.

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces long-lived bone marrow plasma cells in humans

Jackson S. Turner et al.

Summary: The study found that individuals who had recovered from mild SARS-CoV-2 infections showed rapid decline of serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike protein antibodies in the first 4 months after infection, followed by a more gradual decrease over the following 7 months but remaining detectable at least 11 months after infection. This suggests that mild infection with SARS-CoV-2 can induce robust antigen-specific, long-lived humoral immune memory in humans.
