Impact of age, ethnicity, sex and prior infection status on immunogenicity following a single dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine: real-world evidence from healthcare workers, Israel, December 2020 to January 2021

Kamal Abu Jabal et al.

Summary: An analysis of 514 Israeli healthcare workers showed that the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine had similar immunogenicity by ethnicity and sex, but decreased with age. Individuals with prior COVID-19 infection had significantly higher antibody titres compared to those who were naive, regardless of pre-vaccination IgG levels.

BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine in a Nationwide Mass Vaccination Setting

Noa Dagan et al.

Summary: A study conducted in Israel on nearly 600,000 individuals showed that the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was effective in reducing the risk of infection, hospitalization, and severe Covid-19. The effectiveness in preventing death was 72% during the period from day 14 through day 20 after the first dose, and hospitalization was reduced by 87% for the period 7 or more days after the second dose, similar to results from a randomized trial.

The Characterization of Disease Severity Associated IgG Subclasses Response in COVID-19 Patients

Huanle Luo et al.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests immune responses are associated with COVID-19 outcomes. IgG subclasses and cytokines had significant correlations with disease severity. Older patients and those with comorbidities showed higher antibody levels and affected IgG1 and IgG3 responses.

Early antibody response in health-care professionals after two doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2)

Julien Favresse et al.

Summary: The CRO-VAX HCP study investigated the early antibody response in healthcare professionals who received two doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Results showed that in previously infected individuals, a single dose of the vaccine may be sufficient, as they had higher antibody titres compared to uninfected individuals.

Impact and effectiveness of mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations, and deaths following a nationwide vaccination campaign in Israel: an observational study using national surveillance data

Eric J. Haas et al.

Summary: This study assessed the real-world effectiveness of the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA COVID-19 vaccine BNT162b2 in Israel, showing high efficacy in preventing SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, severe disease, and death. As vaccine coverage increased, there were marked declines in SARS-CoV-2 outcomes, indicating that COVID-19 vaccination can help control the pandemic.

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.

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.

Durability of mRNA-1273 vaccine-induced antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 variants

Amarendra Pegu et al.

Summary: The study assessed the impact of SARS-CoV-2 variants on antibody responses induced by the mRNA vaccine over 7 months, showing that most individuals maintained binding and functional antibodies against variants, with B.1.351 having the lowest antibody recognition.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccine induced antibody responses against three SARS-CoV-2 variants

Pinja Jalkanen et al.

Summary: The study shows that the second dose of the BNT162b2 vaccine can induce cross-neutralization to some extent of SARS-CoV-2 variants, providing partial protection. Despite the reduced neutralization effect on the B.1.351 variant, the majority of vaccinees still have some level of protection.

Evaluation of a SARS-CoV-2 Surrogate Virus Neutralization Test for Detection of Antibody in Human, Canine, Cat, and Hamster Sera

Ranawaka A. P. M. Perera et al.

Summary: The surrogate virus neutralization test (sVNT) showed high sensitivity and specificity compared to the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT90) in human, canine, cat, and hamster sera. There was no cross-reactivity to other coronaviruses in both SARS-CoV-2 sVNT and PRNT90, except for cross-reactivity to SARS-CoV-1 in sVNT.
