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.

Association of a Third Dose of BNT162b2 Vaccine With Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers in Israel

Avishay Spitzer et al.

Summary: A booster dose of BNT162b2 vaccine was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among health care workers who were previously vaccinated with a 2-dose series of the same vaccine. The study was conducted in Israel and included 1928 participants with a median follow-up of 39 days.

Protection against SARS-CoV-2 after Covid-19 Vaccination and Previous Infection

Victoria Hall et al.

Summary: This study investigated the duration and effectiveness of immunity among healthcare workers in the United Kingdom. It found that two doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine provided high short-term protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection, but this protection significantly decreased after six months. However, infection-acquired immunity boosted by vaccination remained high, even more than one year after infection.

Infectious viral load in unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals infected with ancestral, Delta or Omicron SARS-CoV-2

Evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 omicron variants BA.1 to BA.5: Implications for immune escape and transmission

Lok Bahadur Shrestha et al.

Summary: The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is a major public health concern due to its high infectivity and antibody evasion. It has rapidly become the dominant variant worldwide and has evolved through several variants. The evolution of Omicron is thought to be influenced by zoonotic spillage, infection in immunocompromised individuals, and undiagnosed spread in the community. Current research suggests that Omicron is more infectious than the original Wuhan-Hu-1 and Delta variants, but less severe in terms of its impact on lung tissue. Vaccines have shown reduced effectiveness against Omicron, but booster shots can improve efficacy. Broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies have limited effectiveness against Omicron, with some exceptions. New variants, such as BA.4 and BA.5, are emerging and are reported to be more transmissible and resistant to immunity generated by previous variants and monoclonal antibodies.

Transmission of B.1.617.2 Delta variant between vaccinated healthcare workers

Steven A. Kemp et al.

Summary: Studies have shown transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among vaccinated healthcare workers, highlighting the need for ongoing infection control measures. The research also introduces a novel approach to identifying transmissions that is scalable and rapid without the need for an infection control infrastructure.

Association of Receiving a Fourth Dose of the BNT162b Vaccine With SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers in Israel

Matan J. Cohen et al.

Summary: Despite high vaccination rates among health care workers in Israel, a significant number of breakthrough infections were observed during the Omicron wave. A fourth vaccine dose was recommended to mitigate the infection rate. This study found that the fourth dose of the vaccine reduced breakthrough infection rates among hospital staff, although not as much as the third dose.

Age and product dependent vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalisation among adults in Norway: a national cohort study, July-November 2021

Jostein Starrfelt et al.

Summary: This population-based cohort study evaluated the vaccine effectiveness of different COVID-19 vaccine regimens against SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, intensive care admissions, and death. The results showed that the overall adjusted vaccine effectiveness against infection decreased over time, but remained effective against hospitalization. A booster dose significantly increased the effectiveness. Spikevax or a combination of mRNA products provided the highest protection.

Neutralizing antibody responses in healthcare personnel after three doses of mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine and association with baseline characteristics and past SARS-CoV-2 infection

Loukia Psaridi et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the neutralizing antibody immunity against SARS-CoV-2 in healthcare personnel vaccinated with three doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. The results showed that the neutralizing antibody levels significantly increased after receiving the booster dose of the vaccine. Younger individuals and those with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection had higher antibody levels, while there was an inverse correlation between antibody levels and comorbidities or tobacco use. At the end of the study period, an increase in neutralizing antibody titers was observed in women.

Comparison of the Effectiveness and Safety of Heterologous Booster Doses with Homologous Booster Doses for SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Jie Deng et al.

Summary: Based on the available data, both homologous and heterologous COVID-19 booster doses have high effectiveness and immunogenicity, with acceptable safety. Heterologous booster doses are more effective than homologous ones, which can help inform public health decisions and reduce vaccine hesitancy.

Summary: According to the model, timely administration of COVID-19 vaccine boosters to eligible individuals, prioritizing the most vulnerable, can reduce infections and hospital admissions. These findings provide evidence-based guidance for decision-makers to plan for administering COVID-19 boosters ahead of winter 2022-2023 to mitigate the health burden and stress on the healthcare system.
