Abstract

Objective: To compare immunogenicity of a booster viral-vector or mRNA COVID-19 vaccine after received two-dose inactivated vaccines in health care workers (HCWs) in Nakhon Phanom hospital.

Methods: We conducted concurrent observational therapeutic research study in Nakhon Phanom hospital. The participants were 100 HCWs who received two-dose of inactivated vaccine; Sinovac and were going to receive third dose between June and August 2021.  We compared immunogenicity between 50 HCWs who received AZD1222 (ChAdOx1 nCoV19 vaccine, Oxford-AstraZeneca) and 50 HCWs who received BNT162b2 (BNT162b2 vaccine, Pfizer-BioNTech). Sera were tested for SARS-CoV-2 total Ig by sandwich qualitative ELISA (Wantai Biological Pharmacy, Beijing) and microneutralization (microNT) assay against Delta variant

Results: HCWs were female in 86% and 80%, median age was 45 years (IQR 34-52) and 36 years (IQR 31-42) (p < 0.001) in AZD1222 and BNT162b2 group, respectively. In baseline sera, 100% of both groups were positive for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies by ELISA.  At 4 weeks after the booster, the mean total Ig values were 16.48±0.41and 16.67±0.49 in the AZD1222 group and BNT162b2 group, respectively (p=0.75). In baseline sera, the GMNT were 5.74 (5.13, 6.43) and 6.10 (5.30, 7.01) (p = 0.663); 4 weeks after booster vaccination, GMNT increased to 54.26 (42.18, 68.80) and 190.27 (153.75, 253.47) (p < 0.001). After adjusted for age and duration from 2nd dose to booster 3rd dose, proportions of 4-fold rise in antibody titers of 90% (78.2, 97.2) and 100% (93.6, 100.0) (p = 0.882) in the AZD1222 group and BNT162b2 group, respectively.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated neutralizing antibody activity against Delta variant in HCWs who completed two doses of inactivated vaccine and one booster dose with either viral-vectored or mRNA vaccine. Further study is needed to determine the effect of the booster dose on clinical outcomes and with other variants.
