Hybrid Immunity Shifts the Fc-Effector Quality of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine-Induced Immunity

<jats:p>Recent data indicates improved immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in individuals who experience a combination of two mRNA vaccine doses and infection, “hybrid immunity,” compared to individuals who receive vaccination or experience infection alone. While previous infection accelerates the vaccine-...

Description
Summary:<jats:p>Recent data indicates improved immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in individuals who experience a combination of two mRNA vaccine doses and infection, “hybrid immunity,” compared to individuals who receive vaccination or experience infection alone. While previous infection accelerates the vaccine-induced immune response following the first dose of mRNA vaccination, subsequent doses demonstrate negligible increases in antibody titers or T cell immunity.</jats:p>
