Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Breakthrough Infection and Post-Vaccination Neutralizing Antibodies Among Healthcare Workers in a Referral Hospital in Tokyo: A Case-Control Matching Study

Shohei Yamamoto et al.

Summary: A study conducted among healthcare workers in a hospital in Tokyo during the Delta variant epidemic showed that breakthrough infections occurred 2-4 months after vaccination, with all cases being mild or asymptomatic. Despite lower neutralizing antibody titers against the variants compared to the wild-type, there was no difference in antibody levels between breakthrough cases and controls.

Central obesity, smoking habit, and hypertension are associated with lower antibody titres in response to COVID-19 mRNA vaccine

Mikiko Watanabe et al.

Summary: Variables such as increased waist circumference, smoking, hypertension, and longer time elapsed since vaccination were associated with lower antibody titres following COVID-19 mRNA vaccination. This suggests that individuals with central obesity, hypertension, and smoking may benefit from earlier vaccine boosters or different vaccination schedules to ensure adequate immune response.

Antibody response following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: A systematic review

Nanny Natalia M. Soetedjo et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the antibody response and seropositivity among DM patients following COVID-19 vaccination and found that they were lower than in healthy subjects. Therefore, it is important to administer vaccines appropriately to DM patients and consider prioritizing them for vaccine boosters.

Neutralizing immunity in vaccine breakthrough infections from the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron and Delta variants

Venice Servellita et al.

Summary: A study on vaccinated individuals found that Delta breakthrough infection induced stronger neutralizing immunity against the wild-type virus compared to Omicron breakthrough infection. The reduced antibody response in Omicron breakthrough infections may be related to a higher proportion of asymptomatic or mild infections, leading to lower neutralizing immunity against the wild-type virus.

Sex-associated differences between BMI and SARS-CoV-2 antibody titers following the BNT162b2 vaccine

Shohei Yamamoto et al.

Summary: This study investigates the difference in the impact of obesity on antibody response to a COVID-19 vaccine between genders. It finds that higher BMI is associated with lower titers of SARS-CoV-2 spike antibodies in men, but not in women.

Use of heated tobacco products, moderate alcohol drinking, and anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody titers after BNT162b2 vaccination among Japanese healthcare workers

Shohei Yamamoto et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of using heated tobacco products and alcohol consumption on antibody titers after receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine. Results showed that both HTPs users and exclusive smokers had significantly lower antibody titers compared to never-smokers, and alcohol drinkers had progressively lower titers with higher consumption levels.

Early induction of functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells associates with rapid viral clearance and mild disease in COVID-19 patients

Anthony T. Tan et al.

Summary: This study found that early induction of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secreting SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells was present in patients with mild disease and accelerated viral clearance, while rapid induction and quantity of humoral responses were associated with an increase in disease severity. These findings highlight the importance of early functional SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells in both vaccine design and immune monitoring.

The evaluation of factors affecting antibody response after administration of the BNT162b2 vaccine: a prospective study in Japan

Toshiya Mitsunaga et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the antibody reaction post-BNT162b2 vaccination and identified factors influencing antibody production through logistic regression analysis. Older age, hypertension, HbA1c levels, and lack of outdoor exercises were suppressors of antibody responses, while longer time intervals between vaccinations promoted significant antibody response. More evidence from multi-center studies is needed to develop vaccination strategies.

Immunogenicity of BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease

Hiroyuki Naruse et al.

Summary: It was found that patients with cardiovascular disease have a poorer humoral response to the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, requiring closer monitoring and earlier revaccination to ensure stronger immunity and protection.

The clinical implication of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase in COVID-19

Jianrong Liu et al.

Summary: The study revealed that 51.7% of COVID-19 patients had abnormal liver function upon admission, which was linked to disease severity and enriched in male and diabetic patients. Elevated GGT levels were common in severe pneumonia cases and positively associated with longer hospital stay and disease severity.
