Large-Scale Study of Antibody Titer Decay following BNT162b2 mRNA Vaccine or SARS-CoV-2 Infection

Ariel Israel et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that individuals who received the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine have higher initial levels of antibodies compared to patients who had been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but experience a much faster exponential decrease in antibody levels.

Immunological memory to SARS-CoV-2 assessed for up to 8 months after infection

Jennifer M. Dan et al.

Summary: Different components of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 exhibit distinct kinetics, with antibodies and spike-specific memory B cells remaining relatively stable over 6 months, while CD4(+) T cells and CD8(+) T cells declining with a half-life of 3 to 5 months after infection.

Effectiveness of mRNA BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine up to 6 months in a large integrated health system in the USA: a retrospective cohort study

Sara Y. Tartof et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the overall and variant-specific effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infections and COVID-19-related hospital admissions among members of a healthcare system in California. The effectiveness of the vaccine remained high against hospital admissions even up to 6 months after full vaccination, despite a decline in effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infections over time, which was likely due to waning immunity rather than the delta variant escaping vaccine protection.

Waning Immunity after the BNT162b2 Vaccine in Israel

Yair Goldberg et al.

Summary: The immunity against the delta variant of SARS-CoV-2 waned in all age groups in Israel a few months after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, leading to an increase in infection and severe cases.

Waning of BNT162b2 Vaccine Protection against SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Qatar

Hiam Chemaitelly et al.

Summary: In a study conducted in Qatar involving over 900,000 participants, vaccine effectiveness peaked at 77.5% in the first month after the second dose. However, it declined afterwards to as low as 20% in months 5 through 7 after vaccination, while protection against severe Covid-19 remained above 90% for at least 6 months.

Anti-spike antibody response to natural SARS-CoV-2 infection in the general population

Jia Wei et al.

Summary: Understanding antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial for assessing protection and risk of reinfection. This study, using representative data from the UK, found that 24% of participants did not develop anti-spike antibodies, with older participants and those of non-white ethnicity having higher peak antibody levels. The estimated antibody levels associated with protection against reinfection may last 1.5-2 years on average.

Neutralizing antibody levels are highly predictive of immune protection from symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

David S. Khoury et al.

Summary: The level of neutralizing antibodies is closely related to immune protection against COVID-19, playing a crucial role in protecting against detected infection and severe infection. Studies have shown that neutralizing titers will decline over time after vaccination, leading to decreased protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection.

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination induces functionally diverse antibodies to NTD, RBD, and S2

Fatima Amanat et al.

Summary: After receiving the SARS-CoV-2 spike mRNA vaccine, individuals showed robust polyclonal antibody responses, with a majority of vaccine-induced antibodies lacking neutralizing activity. However, vaccine-induced RBD binding antibodies may offer substantial protection against viral variants carrying single E484K RBD mutations.

Summary: The study found a strong correlation between antibody titers and efficacy when assessing different COVID-19 vaccines, supporting the use of post-immunization antibody titers as the basis for establishing a correlate of protection for COVID-19 vaccines.
