A boost with SARS-CoV-2 BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine elicits strong humoral responses independently of the interval between the first two doses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
SUMMARY Due to the recrudescence of SARS-CoV-2 infections worldwide, mainly caused by Omicron BA.1 and BA.2 variants of concern, several jurisdictions are administering a mRNA vaccine boost. Here, we analyzed humoral responses induced after the second and third doses of mRNA vaccine in naïve and previously-infected donors who received their second dose with an extended 16-week interval. We observed that the extended interval elicited robust humoral responses against VOCs, but this response was significantly diminished 4 months after the second dose. Administering a boost to these individuals brought back the humoral responses to the same levels obtained after the extended second dose. Interestingly, we observed that administering a boost to individuals that initially received a short 3-4 weeks regimen elicited humoral responses similar to those elicited in the long interval regimen. Nevertheless, humoral responses elicited by the boost in naïve individuals did not reach those present in previously-infected vaccinated individuals.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
