This study evaluated the immune response to vaccination against COVID-19 in 534 healthcare frontline workers in Vilnius, Lithuania. The incidence of COVID-19 was reduced significantly after vaccination started in the healthcare sector. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in groups V-VII and this level of antibodies was found to be effective in preventing COVID-19. Sustained immune response was achieved after two vaccination doses, which remained stable for up to 6 months. After the booster dose, antibody levels remained high for an additional 12 months. Although SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels decreased after 6 months, even lower levels of antibodies provided protection against the Delta strain. The booster dose distributed the antibody titer in the high-level antibody groups, offering maximum protection at 12 months. However, even individuals with high antibody titers were observed to contract COVID-19 after vaccination with a booster dose and 6 months in the presence of the Omicron strain. Unfortunately, high levels of antibodies did not provide protection against the new strain of COVID-19 (the Omicron variant), posing a risk of infection. When comparing the antibody titer of vaccinated participants without COVID-19 and those with COVID-19, the change in antibodies after vaccination was significantly lower in infected participants. Individuals with comorbidities and specific conditions had lower antibody levels.
本研究评估了立陶宛维尔纽斯534名医疗一线工作者对新冠疫苗接种的免疫反应。医疗部门开始接种疫苗后,新冠发病率显著降低。在V - VII组检测到了SARS-CoV-2抗体,且发现这种抗体水平对预防新冠有效。接种两剂疫苗后实现了持续的免疫反应,该反应在长达6个月内保持稳定。接种加强针后,抗体水平又持续高了12个月。尽管6个月后SARS-CoV-2抗体水平下降,但即使较低水平的抗体也能提供针对德尔塔毒株的保护。加强针使高抗体水平组的抗体滴度分布更均匀,在12个月时提供了最大保护。然而,即使是抗体滴度高的个体,在接种加强针6个月后,在奥密克戎毒株出现时仍被观察到感染了新冠。不幸的是,高抗体水平并不能提供针对新冠新毒株(奥密克戎变种)的保护,存在感染风险。在比较未感染新冠的接种参与者和感染新冠的接种参与者的抗体滴度时,感染参与者接种疫苗后的抗体变化明显更低。患有合并症和特定疾病的个体抗体水平较低。
