We investigated the differences in SARS-CoV-2 antibody responses among pregnant individuals with natural immunity, vaccine-induced immunity, or combined immunity. Our study included 260 participants with seropositive results and information on mRNA vaccination and infection. We found that individuals with combined immunity had significantly higher anti-S titers compared to those with natural or vaccine-induced immunity.
We examined differences in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) antibody responses in pregnant individuals with natural, vaccine-induced, or combined immunity. Participants had live or nonlive births between 2020 and 2022, were seropositive (SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, anti-S), and had available mRNA vaccination and infection information (n=260). We compared titer levels among three immunity profiles: 1) natural immunity (n=191), 2) vaccine-induced immunity (n=37), and 3) combined immunity (ie, natural and vaccine-induced immunity; n=32). We applied linear regression to compare anti-S titers between the groups, controlling for age, race and ethnicity, and time between vaccination or infection (whichever came last) and sample collection. Anti-S titers were 57.3% and 94.4% lower among those with vaccine-induced and natural immunity, respectively, compared with those with combined immunity (P<.001, P=.005).
