ABSTRACT
We compared the protective effects of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccines derived from the ancestral and the currently circulating BA.5.2 strains against infection with multiple variants in Syrian golden hamsters. Vaccination with BA.5.2 effectively protected against infection with the Omicron subvariants including XBB.1, but not the Alpha or Delta variant. In contrast, hamsters vaccinated with the ancestral strain demonstrated decent neutralization activity against both the Omicron and non-Omicron variants. Our findings might instruct future design and formulation of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines.
