DIFFERENCE IN IMMUNE RESPONSE BETWEEN COVID-19 VACCINES AND ESTIMATED HALF-LIFE OF ANTI-SPIKE SARS-COV-2 ANTIBODIES
Main Article Content
Abstract
Aims: The purpose of study was to provide information on the immune response to the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in healthy Vietnamese, the decrease of anti-spike antibody levels over time and the half-life. Methods: Investigation on 312 healthy persons anti-spike antibody levels after the 2nd dose of SARS-COV-2 vaccine of 6 vaccine regimens: AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, Verocell, AstraZeneca-Pfizer, and Moderna-Pfizer. Results: Rank vaccines from high to low antibody level as Pfizer>Moderna> AstraZeneca> Verocell. Verocell had the lowest antibody concentration, 26 U/mL (median). Hybrid combination AstraZeneca-Pfizer was the best. There was a decrease in antibody levels over time, in AstraZeneca vaccine anti-spike antibody in 91-120 days after the 2nd dose vaccine being lower than those in 1-30 days (p< 0.05). The estimated half-lives of anti-spike antibodies varied from 2.2 to 2.5 months for AstraZeneca, AstraZeneca-Pfizer and Moderna, 3.2 months for Pfizer, and longest as 6.4 months for Pfizer-Moderna combination, and shortest 1.9 months for Verocell. Conclusion: There was a difference in anti-spike antibody responses between first-generation COVID-19 vaccines. The half-life of the anti-spike antibody of vaccine was documented.
