Reactogenicity and Peak Anti-RBD-S1 IgG Concentrations in Individuals with No Prior COVID-19 Infection Vaccinated with Different SARS-CoV-2 Vaccines

Lab Med. 2024 Mar 7;55(2):162-168. doi: 10.1093/labmed/lmad044.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the association of immune response with vaccination adverse effects at peak anti-receptor-binding domain spike subunit 1 (anti-RBDS1) IgG after full vaccination with Comirnaty, Spikevax, or Vaxzevria.

Methods: Anti-RBDS1 IgG concentrations after vaccination were determined in healthy adults vaccinated with the Comirnaty, Spikevax, and Vaxzevria vaccines. The association of reactogenicity and peak antibody response after vaccination was tested.

Results: Anti-RBDS1 IgG values were significantly higher in the Comirnaty and Spikevax group, compared with the Vaxzevria group (P < .001). Fever and muscle pain were found to be significant independent predictors of peak anti-RBDS1 IgG in the Comirnaty and Spikevax groups (P = .03 and P = .02, respectively). The multivariate model, adjusted for covariates, showed that no association between reactogenicity and peak antibody concentrations was found in the Comirnaty, Spikevax, and Vaxzevria groups.

Conclusions: No association between reactogenicity and peak anti-RBDS1 IgG after vaccination with the Comirnaty, Spikevax, and Vaxzevria vaccine was found.
