Third booster vaccination and stopping the Omicron, a new variant of concern.

ABSTRACT: The SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant is recent member of variant of concerns that confer neutralizing antibodies and escape immune system due to harboring more than 40 mutations. Current evidences suggest two dosages SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose not efficient protects against new variants of SARS-CoV-2; however, recent studies declare that the third booster vaccination can elicit higher antibodies concentration as well as cross-reaction between neutralizing antibodies and new SARS-CoV-2 variants. On the other hand, although a third booster vaccination seems to be benefit in some immunocompromised patients such as recipients of solid-organ transplants or hemodialysis patients, but in other immunosuppressed patients, for instance patients with B cell lymphoproliferative disease partially respond to SARS-CoV-2. Herein, we evaluate the effectiveness of the third booster vaccination against Omicron variant using comprehensive literature review.

Project description:BackgroundThe spread of the vaccine-resistant Omicron severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants threatens unvaccinated and fully vaccinated individuals, and accelerated booster vaccination campaigns are underway to mitigate the ongoing wave of Omicron cases. The immunity provided by standard vaccine regimens, boosted regimens, and immune responses elicited by vaccination plus natural infection remain incompletely understood. The magnitude, quality, and durability of serological responses, and the likelihood of protection against future SARS-CoV-2 variants following these modes of exposure, are poorly characterized but are critical to the future trajectory of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.MethodsNinety-nine individuals were semi-randomly selected from a larger vaccination cohort following vaccination and, in some cases, breakthrough infection. We analyzed spike receptor-binding domain-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG), IgA, and IgM by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, neutralizing antibody titers against live SARS-CoV-2 variants, and antibody-dependent cell-mediated phagocytosis.FindingsIn 99 vaccinated adults, compared with responses after two doses of an mRNA regimen, the immune responses 3 months after a third vaccine dose and 1 month after breakthrough infection due to prior variants show dramatic increases in magnitude, potency, and breadth, including increased antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis and robust neutralization of the currently circulating Omicron BA.2 variant.ConclusionsBoosters and natural infection substantially boost immune responses. As the number of Omicron sub-variant cases rise and as global vaccination and booster campaigns continue, an increasing proportion of the world's population will acquire potent immune responses that may be protective against future SARS-CoV-2 variants.FundingThis work was funded by the M.
