Immunogenicity and safety of Sinovac-CoronaVac booster vaccinations in 12-17- year-olds with clinically significant reactions from Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccination

Vaccine. 2024 Apr 6:S0264-410X(24)00425-0. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHeterologous Sinovac-CoronaVac booster(s) in 12-17-year-olds who had a moderate/severe reaction to Pfizer-BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine was found to safe with no serious adverse events reported. In those primed with 1 dose of Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccine, subsequent boosters with 2 doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccines achieved neutralizing antibody levels which were comparable to those who had received 2 doses of Pfizer-BNT162b2 vaccines followed by 1 dose of Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccination. Adolescents with 1 Pfizer-BNT162b2 followed by 2 Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccines developed T-cell responses against broad peptides including membrane, nucleoprotein 1 and 2 but levels were highest for Spike protein and lasted until day 150 post-vaccination.PMID:38584057 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2024.04.011
