Correlates of protection against symptomatic and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection

Shuo Feng et al.

Summary: Defined levels of SARS-CoV-2-specific binding and neutralizing antibodies elicited by the COVID-19 vaccine were identified as correlates of protection against symptomatic infection. Higher levels of immune markers were correlated with a reduced risk of symptomatic infection. The data can be used to extrapolate efficacy estimates to new populations.

SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy and associated outcomes: Results from an ongoing prospective cohort

Nina M. Molenaar et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes using serological tests. The results showed that seropositivity for SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy was not associated with adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes in a cohort sample from New York City.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines drive differential antibody Fc-functional profiles in pregnant, lactating, and nonpregnant women

Caroline Atyeo et al.

Summary: During pregnancy, significant immunological changes occur to make the mother immunologically tolerant to the fetus and continue to protect the dyad against pathogens during and after birth. Pregnant women may be less responsive to vaccination or exhibit altered immune responses to vaccination, highlighting the importance of following prime-boost timelines to ensure full immunity is attained in this vulnerable population.

Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine response in pregnant and lactating women: a cohort study

Kathryn J. Gray et al.

Summary: The study found that pregnant and lactating women had equivalent antibody titers after receiving the coronavirus disease 2019 mRNA vaccine compared to nonpregnant women, and these titers were higher than those induced by natural infection. Vaccine-induced antibodies were present in umbilical cord blood and breastmilk samples, transferring immunity to neonates through placenta and breastmilk.

SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccines Elicit Different Responses in Immunologically Naive and Pre-Immune Humans

David Forgacs et al.

Summary: In this study, a serological assay was used to measure antibody responses post-vaccination and compared to immune responses from natural infection. The results showed that vaccination induced a more robust immune reaction and that levels of neutralizing and anti-RBD antibody binding were significantly higher in pre-immune participants compared to immunologically naive participants.
