BackgroundThe Omicron variant has challenged the control of COVID-19 pandemic due to its immuno-evasive properties. The administration a booster dose SARS-CoV-2 vaccine showed positive effects in immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2, effect that is even enhanced after second booster.MethodsDuring phase-3 clinical trial, we evaluated CoronaVac®, an inactivated administered 6 months first booster, neutralization (n = 87). In parallel, cellular immunity 45) was analyzed stimulated peripheral...
Summary The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant has challenged the control of COVID-19 pandemic even in highly vaccinated countries. While a second booster mRNA vaccines improved immunity against SARS-CoV-2, humoral and cellular responses induced by an inactivated vaccine have not been studied. In context phase 3 clinical study, we report that CoronaVac ® increased neutralizing response ancestral virus yet showed poor neutralization variant. Additionally, isolated PBMCs displayed equivalent...
