ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Since early 2022, Omicron BA.1 has been eclipsed by BA.2, which was in turn outcompeted by BA.5, which displays enhanced antibody escape properties.METHODS:
Here, we evaluated the duration of the neutralizing antibody (Nab) response, up to 18 months after Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccination, in individuals with or without BA.1/BA.2 breakthrough infection. We measured neutralization of the ancestral D614G lineage, Delta, and Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5 variants in 300 sera and 35 nasal swabs from 27 individuals.FINDINGS:
Upon vaccination, serum Nab titers were decreased by 10-, 15-, and 25-fold for BA.1, BA.2, and BA.5, respectively, compared with D614G. We estimated that, after boosting, the duration of neutralization was markedly shortened from 11.5 months with D614G to 5.5 months with BA.5. After breakthrough, we observed a sharp increase of Nabs against Omicron subvariants, followed by a plateau and a slow decline after 5-6 months. In nasal swabs, infection, but not vaccination, triggered a strong immunoglobulin A (IgA) response and a detectable Omicron-neutralizing activity.CONCLUSIONS:
BA.5 spread is partly due to abbreviated vaccine efficacy, particularly in individuals who were not infected with previous Omicron variants.FUNDING:
