Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To estimate antibody responses of the anti—S—RBD IgG level after the third dose of Covid—19 booster vaccination in a healthcare worker who completed the primary vaccination course.

METHODS

A prospective cohort single-center study was performed at Chiangrai Prachanukroh Hospital, Thailand to assess the antibody response of healthcare workers who completed the first vaccination course with CoronaVac and boosted third doses of the Covid—19 vaccination with Oxford—AstraZeneca or Pfizer—BioNTech Covid—19 vaccine. Healthcare workers who received the third dose of Covid—19 booster vaccination between August 2021 and October 2021 were asked to enroll in the present study. The anti—S—RBD IgG levels were measured two months after the boosted third dose of the Covid—19 vaccination. The primary outcome was the anti—S—RBD IgG levels after vaccination within two months.

RESULTS

A total of 754 healthcare workers participated in the study; 286 was in the Oxford—AstraZeneca vaccine and 468 in the Pfizer—BioNTech vaccine group . Mostly they were female with age more than 40 years old. the anti S—RBD IgG level level in the Oxford—AstraZeneca group was lower than that of the Pfizer—BioNTech group (median, 5.2x103 AU/ml (IQR 3.3 to 8.0) vs. median, 8.7x103 AU/ml (IQR, 6.0 to 12.3); P<0.001). The pattern pattern in which the the anti S—RBD IgG level level was lower in former groups than that of in the later groups was also observed subgroup of age ≤40 years (P<0.001), age>40 years (P<0.001), female sex (P<0.001), male sex (P<0.001), BMI≤25 kg/m2 (P<0.001), and BMI>25 kg/m2 (P<0.001).

CONCLUSION

The healthcare workers who completed the two-dose primary vaccination course in the Oxford—AstraZeneca group developed lower antibodies after the third dose of Covid—19 booster vaccination than that of the Pfizer— BioNTech group.
