ABSTRACT
BackgroundAgainst the background of the current COVID-19 infection dynamics with the rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOC), above all the Omicron VOC, the immunity of healthcare workers (HCWs) against SARS-CoV-2 continues to be of high importance. Vaccination plays a central role in reducing the severity and potentially the spread of the disease. In healthcare, this is important to prevent disease-related staff shortages. However, there is a lack of data on factors influencing the humoral immune response. AimThe aim of our study was to determine factors influencing the level of Anti-SARS-CoV-2-Spike IgG after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination in healthcare workers. Methods1,750 study participants were recruited who met the following inclusion criteria age [≥] 18 years, PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination, working in health care. Anti-SARS-CoV-2-Spike IgG titres were determined by SERION ELISA agile SARS-CoV-2 IgG. ResultsMean Anti-SARS-CoV-2-Spike IgG levels increased significantly with the number of COVID-19 vaccinations (92.2 BAU/ml for single dose, 140.9 BAU/ml for two doses and 1,144.3 BAU/ml after threefold vaccination). Hybrid COVID-19 immunized respondents (after infection and vaccination) had significantly higher antibody titres compared with participants after infection only (525.4 BAU/ml vs. 105.7 BAU/ml). Anti-SARS-CoV-2-Spike IgG titres declined significantly with time after administration of the second vaccine dose. Smoking and high age were associated with lower titres. ConclusionBoth recovered and vaccinated HCWs presented a predominantly good humoral immune response with decreasing antibody levels over the temporal course. Smoking and higher age limited the humoral SARS-CoV-2 immunity. This reduced immune response is an important aspect as people with these risk factors are recognized as people with an increased risk for a severe course of disease.
